TIRE SCREWS
These screws are necessary for good ground handling and proper
braking.
Use the supplied drill bit in a drill press or Dremel tool to drill the
through holes for the tire mounting screws. Start from the smaller,
threaded side and drill through to the larger hole on the opposite side
of the rim.
Helpful Hint: If the bit misses the larger hole while drilling from the threaded hole or if the screw
will not press completely through during final assembly, drill again partially from the opposing
larger hole. The two drill paths will intersect to guide the screw through.
From the larger hole, press the screws into the tire using the end of a
Whia screwdriver. The cupped end will not allow the screw to slip. We
like to press them in a criss-cross manner, start at 12 o’clock, then 6
o’clock, 1 o’clock to 7 o’clock, etc; this helps to keep the drilled holes
from shifting.
Before tightening the tire screws, apply a drop of blue Thread
Locker to the threaded holes. This prevents the screws from
backing out under the vibrations of braking. Carefully tighten the
screws, avoid stripping the threads.
