My shop lubbed it up really well and put stainless steel screw in there and now I'm too much of a wuss to tighten it too much. So i took it BACK to the shop and they tightened it down to "little more than 7Nm" and sure as sh*t it slipped about 2mm after 2 hour ride last night.
Can steel stretch over time ?? |
Yes. Steel is ductile. Try some carbon paste or drink a beer from a can and make a shim. Pop cans (Soda/Cola for my American Cousins) work well too.
