I've had a few flat tires now and everytime i change my tire i try to get the nuts holding the wheel on the rim loose enough so the wheel will spin. i don't have my HT on yet but it would be dangerous to leave them as loose as i seem to have to in order to make the wheel have the play it needs to spin. the other day i lifted my bike over a log and my front wheel dropped out of the fork. when i try to tighten the nuts the wheel has so much drag its laborious to ride. is there some type of washers i can put in or spacers? I saw on a post about chain tensioners somebody put a picture of a washer with star tooth ends that they said wash good for something. idk. ideas please. i know other people have had this problem and there must be a solution because everybody isn't riding around with there wheels on as loosely as mine are or they'd be in the hospital.
