Go to a Mom and Pop hardware store, they have a drawer of springs.
Buy 2 or 3 different tensions on one of those #18's. Cost about a quarter.
Pick the best type.
Unwind about 2 inches from each end, wrap through the hole under the tension knob, and then around a strap hole. It is a backup for the tension spring, which compensates if you screwed around with the factory torque on that damn nut.
Here's a collage, before the spring idea dawned on me. Before I found out cheap batteries won't run a camera very long.
I'm catching up, guys, the phone hangs up three times in every 20 minutes out here in Rough Edge.
BTW- Sheave is BOGUS. :? The orderform spells it SPOKE RING. Any more sheaveshooting is prosecutorial.
Centered on 12 gauge spokes, no need for superglue, add the spring and it will make up for screwing up the SPOKE RING snap on.
