If you read my post you will see I referenced the time frame of one run, not some indefinite time period. I fully realize they will loosen over time, but I expect them to stay tight for at least one day of wheeling. As for a couple of minutes,, if you are following the specified procedures by MRT, Champion, ect, You see it will take you more than a couple of minutes. And sence that is the point, who wants to stop every few miles and do that? To the rock only crowd that measures trail length in ft (admittedly do to the difficulty of such trails) having to re tourque bead locks every few miles is not such a big deal,, heck that’s about once a run. But many other wheelers (like those of us up here in AK) travel 50 mi or more just to the trail head (not including the paved road miles to get to this point), and the trail it self might be 30, 40, 50 or more miles long. If by chance you have any usefull information to respond to the questions of the post I welcome it.</STRONG>
