I have Race Face X type cranks and my 8mm bolt keeps coming loose on rides. I have tried blue locktite with some success. It lasted four rides before coming loose again. I don't know what to do next. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Go to sram.com and download the installation instruction sheet for your cranks. My guess is that either you don't have the elastomer washer installed or you're not bottoming the crank bolt out.
Actually Race face makes those so SRAM might not help, if the blue is no good try red but that issue is endemic to that crank.
#-oLong ride and too many beers afterwards. I have a couple of these cranks (Deus), download the instruction sheet from RACE FACE and look closely at the washer/spacer diagram.
I have a 5point5 and I'm trying to find the width of my BB. I'm not sure if it is 68mm or 73mm. The Intense website does not show my frame anymore. Would it be the same as the Tracer??
I know exactly what is going on with your crank. The reason it keeps coming loose is because the crank bolt is not bottoming out inside the spindle. It takes sometime to get these spaced right and all. If your bolt is coming lose its because it's not fully tightened down. Let me also guess that if you kept tightening the bolt down your chainring is being tightened into your frame or chainguide (depends on your setup).
