I appreciate your point Ira, but if you order wheels set up for tubeless =
from Dayton, they seal the bottoms of the nuts to the rim to prevent air =
leaks.
Tightening the nuts breaks the seal and then your tires lose air.
This is not to say that a failed wheel is preferable, just that fussing =
with the nuts brings on another set of problems. And, just tightening =
the nuts doesn=92t assure that the wheel is true.
That=92s why I=92m asking if this is a common problem. Maybe I got a =
bad set.

How common is the problem of broken spokes?
