dumbest problem i have ever had, and not been able to fix, help

If you drove much at all after the nuts came loose you may have wrecked your rim. Check the bolt holes and see if there is any out of roundnes to them. It does not take much so look closely. If they are not perfectly round the rim will never stay tight.

I feel like I have the worst machine in the world for this rim issue...but not one problem. My rim holes are elongated, I "rethreaded" all studs and nuts...and it still is tight and nice.
Rather than loctite, why don't you use locking items? I <u>think</u> [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] if you use locknuts along with lockwashers or Nylon stop nuts...they won't get loose again. Go to a local car shop and ask them for the parts you need. If they're smart enough...you won't have any other problems.
Otherwise...weld your rim to your hub [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Wow, thanks for all the replys, i did go to the local parts store and bought some blue locktite, put about a drop or two on each stud, and tightened them up and then rode for about 3 hours. NO problems yet so hopefully that fixed them. Yep i got the rounded parts facing inward, i did everything alright, except for using the breaker bar. Im pretty sure thats why my last studs got stripped, but then let me ask you this, why did it only do it on my right wheel (in three spaces) and nowhere else on my bike? Ohwell, once again thanks alot.
