I've just bought an official hugger and I notice there is some sticky foam to help mount it and they recommend using loctite on the nuts. Won't this make it a pain to remove the hugger?

Now, my chain "maintenance" is only really cleaning with WD40, then lubing with castrol chainwax (I'll get a scottoiler soon, honest!). So, I'm not one of these people who has the back wheel off ever other day. However, am I right in thinking the hugger would need to be removed for tyre changes, services, chain/sprocket replacement, etc? Obviously, I'm a bit worried about making it "permanent" if it needs to come off every 6 months.

Thanks for any advice.
