Right, noticed my cog slip the other day.

Removed lockring, tightened cog.

Put lockring back on, tightened.....

Got to where it starts to bite, pushed to lock it in place and it pops loose.

Does this mean the threading has gone on my hub?

Take it all apart and look at the threds. Thats what I would do but what you wrote sounds bad. Hope you made it to your ride.

cheers GM, Afraid I didn't make it.

Took it apart at the time, cleared the grease etc etc and the threads looked to be ok (no strands of metal etc)

Switched cog and it seems to have tightened up fine now, however, haven't given it a full final tighten.

Think it'll be a case of getting it to a mate who might know more

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
