What should have been a quick question turned into a discussion with
some friends. When you put a knockoff back on your wheels, should you
tighten it on the ground or off the ground ?
A friend says that just like a bolt on wheel you can't really tighten it
off the ground and you have to hammer it on the ground so you can get a
really good hit on it.
I was taught whack it off the ground and re-check it after a few miles
and that is good enough. You do it off the ground so the wheel can center
itself on the hub cone and they are supposed to self-tighten. Yes when you
hit them they move but you are still getting them pretty tight.
Any wisdom on which is correct ? A search on the web was not conclusive,
I found both answers but favored the off the ground still on the jack method.
