Prhockey2607 0 Report post Posted February 9, 2008 I have the Tour E2's with the single axles. I tighten them as far as they can go before every game/practice but within half an hour, they are pretty loose. Is there a way to stop this from happening?

kukakid 0 Report post Posted February 10, 2008 Blue loc-tite is probably your best bet, although I have had some problems with some brands. I also had some success using super glue. I just put a very small drop on the threads and then screwed them in. It kept the axles tite and I was able to get them off when I wanted to. I really have only does this once or twice though (on some old outdoor skates) and I was careful to only apply a small amount. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Both not using the red locktite, as well as being able to use the teflon tape. Just make sure you wrap the teflon tape on there in the correct direction.
