to tighten your nuts after you rebuild your brakes. Stopped at a mini-market this morning, rolled backwards to lift the bike onto the sidewalk to go inside and the rear calipers fell into the spokes. Could have been a disaster but as I can attest God watches out for fools like me.

Yes, yes, yes, and, make sure the bolts are tight too. Sorry Bill... I'm glad you're okay though.

I still contend that the only loose nut on my Baron is the one laying in the seat.

Gee the only problem I've had with mine is being TOO tight ... like when my son was little and my wife got his Hanes mixed up with mine and ... oh, wait ... never mind.
(C'mon, you HAD to see THAT one coming, eh?)

Bill, Bill, Bill... such a can of worms you've opened... thank you for the advice; I'll certainly keep it in mind.
