On my dad bike, the crank arm bolts are loosening every few rides to point I can feel them be loose. The cranks is an old Sugino triple on a (I’m assuming, it was in the bike) Shimano square taper BB. I’m using these Allen key bolts.
I’ve greased the bolt threads, but that’s it. Should I be using loctite? I’ve never had this issue in the past and I’ve used square taper cranks on a lot bikes with these bolts and the non-Allen key head.
