On my way back from Ottawa this weekend I stopped at a gas station and when I did a quick visual check of my bike I noticed my gear shift lever bolt was hanging by the last few threads. I had removed my gear shift lever to clean the front sprocket guard earlier in the week and thought I had tightened it enough when I reassembled. Should I have used some kind of locking compound on this bolt like Loctite?
