1. I DO know what direction the threads travel, in fact it will be hard for me to forget it at this point since it caused me to ruin 1/2 a hub two weeks ago.
2. Thanks to Mitch, I now see a better way to tighten the cog onto the hub.
3. Part of bicycling (for me) is wrenches, and I dont mind making mistakes. So I probably will go ahead and build a wheel.
4. I think my sarcasm / funny hats / photos are no worse than name calling, negativity and discouragement.
