I seem to be retightening the bolts holding the frontpoints on my crampons after every 2 or 3 days on the ice. I tighten the bolts to what feels like an adequate torque and they still loosen after 2 or 3 outings. I don't want to tighten them like a tire lug nut but I'm fairly sure I apply enough force that they should stay on. This happens to 2 pairs of Petzl Lynx and to a bunch of BD Cyborgs. I climb mono on the Petzls and the spacers are all correctly placed. The Cyborgs are dual points. Has anyone experienced this? I am thinking of trying some removable Threadlocker or Loctite on them. Thoughts?
They're nylon lock nuts. I'd just replace the nut as a starting point. Have you examined the bolt and nut off the crampon? They get corroded and worn (especially if they're loose). I have extra bolts and nuts for the Cyborgs. Send me pm and get you some.
