Always give your ko's a couple hits with your hammer to make sure they are on tight every time you drive your car.

 

[bsandhu]

yeah, im gonna have to start doing that

and now he tired to tighten it but it wasnt moving

now hes saying the k/o is crossthreaded

 

[TrueOGcadi]

sounds like they just came loose maybe they were not tighten down enough, i check mine like once o month just to make sure...

 

[AZLincolnFan]

probably just weren't hit on tight enough the first time, ive rode on spokes everyday for over a year no problems, took the ride on 2 hours drives, and 3 hour drives out of town with no problems at all. Just get them tight and check them every once in a while

 

[bsandhu]

yeah buddy now is sayin the k/o is crossthreaded

 

[AZLincolnFan]

Red adapters on the right side


white adapters on the left side


always tighten toward the Rear...

yeah i know that thats how it is...but i donno hwo the fuck buddy says its cross threaded

 

[caddeville]

lift the car, then try to tighten
I've been rollin k-offs for 2 yrs now and no problems even in winter, doin massive burnouts in the snow and i never had any problems other than all 100 spokes getting loose on one wheel. I rarely check for tightness.

:uh: man i would rather roll bolt-on's than have to check them everytime i drive the car. That's just rediculous. I can't imagine how tore up the knockoffs/tool/and hammer would get from doing that. Tighten them one good time, roll for about 20 miles, then re-check and you should be good to roll until you take the wheel off again.

its been know to happen .....r.eplace the k/o and adapter .....problem fixed

 

[bsandhu]

turns out who ever installed em did it wrong or some how all the threads on the k/o got stripped.. by stripped i mean the adapter had brass on it


and so now im gonna put bullet k/o's i picked up form a buddy for 20$ on the rear
