before that, make sure that you have lifted the wheel up and into full
engagement with the hub before lowering the wheel enough to keep it from turning
when you hit the knock off. Turn the knock off as far as you can by hand rocking
the wheel in a couple of directions while trying to turn the knock off.
Only then put a load on the wheel. </div>

<div>On my BJ8 with new MWS 72 spoke WW and hubs I find that the wheels are over
tightening themselves particularly the front.</div>
<div>Have read the Rudge Whitworth self tightening info. but still not
happy.</div>
<div>When I fit the wheels I tighten by hand then do a light couple of taps with
my lead mallet.</div>
<div>After but a few miles I find that I have to really slog the spinners just
to get them to move - the ol’ girl shakes all over.</div>
<div>It really is excessive and fear one day wont be able to get them to move at
all – particularly on roadside.</div>
<div>What gives ?</div>
<div>Anyone else encountered this issue ?</div>
