When I ride with my trucks loose, the bolt always seems to come undone and fly off.

I've tried super glueing the bolt on at the tightness I want, but seems to ruin the trucks.
Anyone got any good ways to fix this without having to use superglue?

I don't see what you mean by it ruining the trucks. You normally just some a tiny bit of superglue inside and/or on top of the bolt.

You could try using different bushings and washers if the sizes of them don't allow enough space on the kingpin.

superglue doesn't ruin the trucks, a tiny dab on the end of a nut locks it right in place.

Exactly. I have many friends who do that.

By "ruining" I ment like the superglue ran out (overflowed) and covered the trucks haha!
Now instead of been blue there blue with white.

I think I may need new bushings and washers also, could be half the problem.

Thanks guys

Just a little little bit of super glue or buy some locknuts

I had this problem with my King Size setup, I found I constantly had to retighten the nut. In the end, I just took the top washer off and I haven't had to tighten them since.

I also have tkys on a different setup and I haven't had to tighten that nut once and the trucks are fairly loose!

Well ATM I don't have any washers on, that could be one problem

Put washers on. They put pressure on the nut and stop it from falling off.

if you use soft bushings then tightened them up a bit more

I used some patafix. A little bit inside, it's work well. I don't know the english word for that. You know, it's that thing you put on the backside of poster, pictures ... to put them on a wall.

Think you are describing blu tac

4 corner sells a set with a weak adheasive that you can just break off, comes with tape to

Yes. Patafix is the french equivalence, sorry.
If you want to try, take a toothpick, put a little piece of "blu tac" with the toothpick inside, screw your nut as you want, take off blu tac left over. It's work well and it's invisible. Also, it's doesn't destroy your trucks, by the way. Or use screw stop. Like for the car ..
