I had the same problem...Stripped the screw before it was clamped. Evidently this has been an ongoing issue.

I'm using this on a RB10 and the fit is perfect. No stripped or broken screws with mine. These don't need to be reefed down super tight. Just tight enough to clamp on the axle shaft without it pulling off by hand. Use a small dab of blue lock tite on the clamping screw and you'll be good.

after reading the reviews I was already worried about stripping or breaking the screw, i put the hex on and snugged up the screw but it didnt' clamp enough to stay on, the hex still fell off the axle so I did what the other poster said and clamped the hex with pliers then tightened the screw, the hex is on but it doesnt seem like its as tight as it should be, i bet if i pulled it hard enough i could pull the hex off by hand, oh well, id rather have it a little loose than break or strip the screw. Update: After the hex slipped off the axle when removing my tire, i tried to tighten it up all the way and mine did strip out as well. Bummer, now I have to contact Associated and see about getting a replacement set .

What reviewers say

Reviewers largely agree that the small clamping screw is the main weak point, with several reporting stripped threads or snapped screw heads during installation. Some found the hex loose on the axle before tightening and fixed it by crimping the hex slightly with pliers or clamping it in a vise, after which the fit improved. Others reported that the screw still stripped or the hex stayed loose even after these workarounds. One reviewer using the hex on an RB10 reported no problems with a light torque and a dab of threadlocker. Reviews also describe a recurring issue across buyers, including on separate sets from the same purchase. Ratings range from 1 to 5.

  • + Fits well once adjusted or crimped
  • + No stripping with light torque and threadlocker
  • + Works on an RB10 for one reviewer
  • − Clamping screw strips or breaks easily
  • − Hex can be loose on the axle out of the box
  • − Fit often needs pre-crimping or adjustment
  • − Recurring problem reported by several buyers
