Anyone have any ideas as to why I can't seem to keep my wheels tight? I have
new 60-spoke Daytons, new Rimmer hub extensions and what appear to be very
good condition knock-offs (age unknown). I put the wheels on and they seem
tight, but after driving for a bit (in this case, probably 100 miles or so),
I'll check and they're loose again! Hitting the k-o's with a hammer does
nothing as they're already as tight as I can get them. The only way I've
found to make them tight is to loosen them, then re-tighten. Then, 100 mi
later...

What gives? Any ideas from you ww experts out there? Maybe I should tack
weld them! :^) Any and all ideas appreciated. Thanks, folks.
