Why? Loctite Blue is meant to be disassembled and reassembled: http://www.loctiteproducts.com/p/t_lkr_blue/overview/Loctite...

Gyms clearly don't use loctite, but I think it's just because the problem doesn't warrant the slight increase in mess and hassle.

Ah, okay. I thought locktite was only a "mostly permanent" adhesive. Thanks for the info!
