  1. so i just got done disassembling and packing my DX for a trip to visit
    my family in Wisconsin, and one of the strangest things ive even seen
    happened.

    ok, i had taken the seatpost out, and removed the wheel from the frame,
    and i went to get some towels to wrap everything in, and i came back
    and picked up the wheel to wrap it in the towel. when i picked it up, i
    noticed the axle-bolt thing was loose. odd, but not really. so i
    tightened it, and decided to check the other side. when i flipped it
    over, the entire other crank was at the edge of the axle. the axle bolt
    was still on the crank, and so was the pinch bolt, but the crank was
    waaay on the end of the axle. i couldve pulled it off with my hand if i
    wanted. that crank is on there tight normally, the only thing that
    could do that is a crank puller, and the thing was just sitting there,
    (not to mention the crank in question was face-down with the weight of
    the wheel above it!) wtf? i had JUST been riding the thing not 45 mins
    ago, and havent loosened or removed anything in 3 weeks. has anyone
    ever heard of this happening before?

    What a stupid question...The guys has a serious problem and all you can
    care about is where hes staying?? keep stuff like that to PMs ok...he
    needs help not travel advice.

    So ice...Youre saying that the alxle bolt and crank are just haning
    there? Hate to say it but it sounds like you stripped out your axle.
    Check the threads inside the axle... It shouldnt just be hanging off
    like that.

    well the crank was most of the way off, which would mean that somehow
    the axle bolt was either stipped or unscrewed. i dont think it was
    stripped cuz i was able to screw it back in, but whats really wierd is
    that the crank slipped off despite the pinch bolt and the natural
    tightness of the crank.

  11. Hey there ice, that happened to me not long after I got my dx. After a
    while it will stop. Just keep an allen wrench with you and keep them
    tight as hell. Also get off and check how tight they are every once in
    a while. It sucks when you loose those nuts. When this happened to me
    I was riding in the snow and they got loose and fell off. I had to use
    a magnet to find them... Oh, well, hope this helps.
    Peace.

  12. Well, when I started crankgrabbing, at some point I knocked off the
    little black thing that was around the bolt, and as I was riding, the
    bolt was slowly wiggling lose, and it just randomly fell off all of a
    sudden. Now, when I'm riding, the bolt slowly comes lose...I just hand
    tighten it until I can get to an allen wrench.

    thats not good!!
    I used to get a 3/8" drive quick disconnect thingy for a drill and
    stick a 1/4" allen wrench in it, you need to find some way to torque
    that bolt, one of my bolt caps fell off yesterday 🙁 now its ugly
    (haha) use loc-tite, the non permanent kind to keep that bolt on, it
    works extremely well 🙂
