Guys are wrapping the threads in plumbers (Teflon) tape. Give it a try.

Put a nut on each end.

Gorilla duct tape! Been really helpful. It’s strong enough to hold and soft enough to absorb the bashing. Since I’ve done this none has push in (knock on wood)

that is not going to hold at all.

Well it’s been holding up for me. I’ve landed on one wheel and it’s taken a few cart wheels. The original ones pushed in after a few runs. Since I’ve added the tape it’s been run over a dozen times and hasn’t pushed in one thread. The nut is a good idea but it won’t let it absorb the impact. Someone posted that he put a nut and the whole end ball popped off.

I made the rock guards myself out of lexan and put some carbon wrap on them.
