Hi Cliff
I don't know why they did that to the 15 inch wheel, the 13 inch that we
have on our Dolomite (bought at the same time) are conical seat, the only
reasons I can see for not doing it are if the wheel has a steel insert for
conical seats and not for the flat nuts, and the set up, i.e. clocking in
the hole is outside the scope of most home workshops.
