Security Bolts
You guys are making me paranoid. I have been riding my Rap since 1980 with no security bolts on my rear steel rim with no problems. How long will that last?
Actually, one time I had a medium leak in the rear tube, while I had a very stiff sidewall Michelin tyre on and rode to a gas station at up to 30 mph, aired it up, then rode to a friend's garage to store it until I came back with a fresh tube. It was a bit squirmy and I didn't try any high speed cornering. I told the story to Dave Matson and he said the speed flings the tyre outwards and shouldn't be too bad in a pinch. His ideas of speed are different from mine, though.
