Thread locker is an additional safety measure. Not a fix.
I know. I just picked up a Mongoose x43 frame near my building, and I'll be swapping the whole crank tomorrow. I put that crank on last year, rode it a few times, and put probably 10-15 miles on it since my car wreck, and out of nowhere started coming loose. I've never looked up torque specs on a bike. Seems like 1 out of 4 of every crank job I do comes loose.
