Barcons- loose screw and slipping
New Shimano Barcons. Screw in right one works its way loose. Have retightened every 3 or so miles.
Should I add some red LocTite to the tip of the screw?
May have hit proper torque with my last attempt to tighten it, but don't want to be far from home with one gear in the mountains.

I figured this out 20 years ago with my first set of 7-speed Shimano bar-cons. I still have that set, and they're still usable.

Thanks. Guess I had better make up mind which setting I want.
