Sorry, with all the confusion I just couldn't help myself :)

Last weekend I had my rear wheel apart to inspect the bearings and reset my preload. I have a habit of checking because many years ago one of my races spun in the hub. At the time I was unable to find a suitable replacement, so I peened the hub and used Loctite 620 to secure the race. I ride my bike probably 300 days a year and it has held ever since.

I am quite literal and never considered these obscure implications.
