Michael et al,
Contemplate the mechanical connections between the hub extension, wire whee=
l hub and the knockoff.=20
The hub extension is bolted to the axle using tapered nuts that seat in the=
face of the extension. No rotational movement.
The wire wheel is connected to the hub extension via the splines. The toler=
ances in the splines may allow for some rotational movement but they have t=
o be loose enough to get the wheel off the extension.=20
What else holds the wheel in place=E2=80=A6the knockoff. The cone in the kn=
ock off forces the wire wheel hub against the hub extension, The contact in=
terface is the tapers on the hub extension and the wire wheel hub. You know=
the little area that we are frequently reminded to apply a smear of grease=
to stop the little squeaky noise at low speed. If the knock off is tight e=
nough there is not movement here either.
So Mike, if you see movement between the knock off and the wire wheel, the =
knock off is not tight enough. =20
Suspect that the folks that developed knock offs understood the problem of =
owners/mechanics not getting them tight enough and used the handed (left an=
d right) threads that self tighten.=20
Gentlemen, remember your Mother today!
