    I was taught that it was tight enough when the lever leaves an imprint on your hand.

    Just concurring with Veronica and Deb...


    Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
    "I will try again tomorrow".

    I have read makbike's info in a few books and assumed that was the way to go.

    I guess the thing to remember is that you need to be able to get the wheel off yourself in case you are stuck out in the sticks on your own with a flat.
    If superman did the wheel up this might cause delays and Im guessing (at least for me) a few choice words to escape as well.
    The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
