<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Tightening the nuts breaks the seal and then your tires lose air.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">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’t assure that the wheel is true.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">That’s why I’m asking if this is a common problem. Maybe I got a bad set.<o:p></o:p></p>
