Banshee Chad Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 What is safety wire? I've seen it sold with grips, but how's it work, and what's it do? And how are u using it on bolts? I'm unfamiliar with this stuff. I guess not everyone is as strong as me, I don't even use loctite.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjdgriff Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Have you considered safety wiring yourself to the shee yet? That could be helpful lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenyboy Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Would that not weaken the head of the bolt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
So Cal Suspension Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 I safety wire anything that has to do with rotating mass on the race cars. CV bolts are the most common, both inner and outer. I've never safety wired anything on a bike though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATVridinMaNiAc Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Safety wiring is the shit, only needed for certain applications though but it never hurts, military does alot of safety wiring specially on aircrafts, the engines have safety wire everywhere.

03shee775 Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Kicker. Wire the kicker if you are paranoid. I've had 2 fall off on me. Don't ask how i let it happen twice. I bring an extra one every trip haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixie normus Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Thus is just stupid. Blue loctite is all u need. I have been riding these shitboxes for over 10 years. Never had any parts fall off yet. Safety wiring is a good way to make your bike look like an old piece of farm equipment though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulvafan537240 Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 i did lose a shifter once. dont know how but it happened. shouldnt have fell off even without the screw in it id use loctite and a lock washer and call it good though.
