Is the loctite (not blue 243) on the CSU still the best DIY way forward to fix creakage?

I think he's asking if it helps without pressing out the stanchions.Yes. Loctite 609 retaining compound. I’ve fixed a few.
You use scotch pads or a fine wet and dry to get rid of the oxide layer first.

If you stand the bike upside down and spray some inox onto the crown and stanchion interface, and let it wick overnight that will quiet the noise for a while. This is not reccomend for steerer to crown creaking, which should be replaced or fixed properly.
You have a legendary shed thereAhh whoops.
I’m using a 20 ton press to get stanchions and steerers out of crowns.

Must be somewhere on Wikileaks by now.Flux capacitor manufacturing still eludes me
Just another reason to avoid them.In a weird turn of events, Chris King are only making centerlock hubs from now on. No more native 6-bolt.
Feels icky.
Haha, I just ordered a rear hub this morning. "She'll be right!"Just another reason to avoid them.
But why? The specialty tools and eye watering cost of bearings and spares are a huge turn off, and unlike DT 240s they aren't light.Haha, I just ordered a rear hub this morning. "She'll be right!"

Beacuse I wanted to.But why? The specialty tools and eye watering cost of bearings and spares are a huge turn off, and unlike DT 240s they aren't light.
From the Aussie distributor - SCV Imports. I f**ked up and ordered a centerlock hub, before realising what I'd just done and sent off a "Sorry! Please cancel..." e-mail, and to their credit they didn't do the typical thing of sending it out before they check their e-mails - so huge doff of the cap to them on that front. I got an e-mail in the morning with the credit being sent back, and another one with a brief spiel about the discontinuation of the 6-bolt variants. Felt a little douchey to buy elsewhere after the good follow-up from the distro, but I really didn't want centrelock. Sorry/thanks SCV Imports!Where did you hear that Chris King news?
Yes they fail. Had a work mate have to replace the set on his road hubs for $350. They had done high mileage, and he hadn't been on top of cleaning and lubing them, but that's crazy. I can get a set of japanese (NSK/NTN/KSM/EZO) bearings for my I9s for less than $100.They’re beasty built hubs. Cost of bearings - do they ever actually fail? Agree on the cost of spare parts and axle conversions etc.

For that kind of money I would replace them with the SKF MTRX bearings and forget about them for them for the next decade.
