  1. i have had my Gen 1 KH hub and cranks for about a week and today the
    pinchbolt on the right crank came loose and it started to jiggle a bit.
    i got an allen key and wrenched it back in there and it was solid
    again. is this normal for the bolts to get a bit loose? and is there a
    way to prevent it?

  2. i had a real problem with that recently. they kept coming loose over and
    over. i finally realized the seat was on backwards, with help from
    people here. check the L and R on your pedals and make sure your seat
    is in the right way. other than that, it was probably just from use. if
    it happens again, though, you might want to take your uni to your lbs.

    I've said it before, and I'll say it again:

    Loctite 242 Threadlocker Medium Strength (Blue)
    Take out the crank and pinch bolts, clean and degrease the threads,
    apply a bit of Loctite and reinstall. Voila!
