got there and back from Warmwell a 350 mile round trip but must admit i stopped 3 times in the first 40 miles checking but all was good so just went with it.I don't like the long nuts either was looking at those knuts but didn't know if they were good to use.Irony was i went out yesterday on one of my other scoots and that has nordlocks on but with split rims and never even thought twice about it,i'm afraid paranoia gets to you when it happens my mate Pat had his wheel come off and it took him ages before he stopped getting worried.

There are different standards of k nuts, brass, silver, white zinc and the more expensive aerospace versions, guess most use the silver or white zinc for their scoots?
