I have had to re-true my back wheel for the third time. Not an easy task with a bad back and two chains to deal with.
This time after the rim strip was installed, I slid it to the side and put a drop of Gorilla glue around each nipple. then slid the strip back over. The glue will expand and hopefully between sticking to the metal and the rubber they will not unscrew themselves again.
This WalMart wheel has been a pain since I bought it. TEN of the spokes were 1/4" too long and had to be shortened to get them tight. Only two spokes were too long on the front wheel.
Does any one have a better solution to prevent nipples from getting loose?
