    That's my daily ride. I think most of the credit goes to Bill (Quicksilver Capo). He was a fanatical first owner and I'm an equally fanatical second owner. I got it at something like 30k and expect to ride it around the country again shortly.

    I think - the nipple screws onto the spoke and the grub screw then screws into the nipple.
