So I have this Superstar rear hub, 'Switch Ultra-LITE CENTRELOCK' with a QR axle adaptor that screws together inside the hub. 5mm allen key on the NDS, 15mm spanner flats on the DS.
Over time (20 miles or so) the axle adaptor tightens on itself, causing the most annoying squeak and tightness in the bearings that is definitely noticeable. What's the fix? Bit of loctite on the correctly adjusted axle?
