Yeah, that's the bolt that can come loose and leave you at the top of Lovers Leap in the mountains in Hillsville Va at 8:00 a.m. on a Sunday morning.

Check that one regularly.

I need to do this for mine... What size is the bolt you used?? did you put a nut on the other side too? I was thinking that way it would really get pinched into the shaft..

When I took mine out to clean and lube I installed an O ring on the shaft...

Nice and snug without any shifting effect
