I read in MTBR that loose bearings may be fixed with Loctite 640. GOing to NAPA to try.

If it doesnt work, Ill probably abandon for MegaEXO or Ultratorque. Too many newer technologies than square taper.
Do not buy into any FSA/GXP type BB systems. They suck hard. If you are going to buy into a deprecated standard. Go ultratorque or shimano external. BB30 WILL be the high end road standard next year.
