thanks for the quick reply Trak and for supplying the video.

However I can be pretty dense mechanically. I took the wheel off and cleaned it up.

In the video the guy hand tightened the cone without the lock nut on and was happy with how it felt. Then the video jumps to him tightening the lock nut.

I still need to buy a 15mm cone wrench to do the adjustment but it appears my 17mm ratchet fits the locknut.


Am I correct in thinking these would be my steps:

1. I remove the lock nut.

2. I use a 15mm cone wrench to tighten the cone

3. Keep my 15mm wrench on the cone while i use the 17mm ratchet to hold the cone in place?


How should i visualize what the cone is actually doing?

Thanks Pete
