Using Thread lock with Trilock Rear Hinge

General
1

Hi,
Today I installed Trilock on my EVO. I noticed that strida Canada say it is ok to use thread lock but somewhere here it mentioned don’t use thread lock.
Personally I would feel more safe to lock this bolt . Also using thread lock add prevailing torque → torque to loosen the bolt + torque to remove it fully.
So should thread lock be used or not with Trilock ?
And just to make sure, the pivot point should be between the plastic washer and the spring washer ?

Hi Ala,
the TriLock nut is locked already; the three small screws have a sharp ring on their tip. These rings cut into the front surface of the axle stump and secure the nut safely (as long as you’ve done that right, meaning that these three bolts were tightened pretty hard.)
Thread lock compound is not necessary on TriLock, it would also not help if the nut was overtightened.
Yes, pivot point should be between spring and plastic washer.
Cheers,
Chris
