[MENTION=359043]AlTheKiller[/MENTION], she may not have noticed the difference tight axle nuts made, but I'm sure she felt the difference firm tires and a lubricated chain makes. Most do. The problem is at tires seep and chains dry out gradually. That's why people don't notice them. The improvements are substantial and sudden. Trust that she noticed them.
