Hey everyone. The fork that i currently have on my GT Bestwick pro has peg bosses. I have had a problem with my left front peg unspinning and coming loose when i am grinding. I realize that this is because they did not reverse thread this side as they should have. Anyway, is there anything that i can do to keep this from unspinning or do i have to just keep cranking the crap out of it.
Thanx, Dan

Try a little loctite on the threads. That should help. Even if they would have reversed the thread it would probably still come loose when grinding and traveling backwards - although I realize this is not as common as grinding going forwards.
