[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 6310, member: 456"] Could I ask for a point of clarrification? I absolutely agree about the need for security bolts with chromed steel rims but what about aluminium rims with serations all round both sides of the wheel. I have always assumed that security bolts were not needed if these were present and in fact used to sprint without security bolts if using this type of rim. However, what would happen if the tyre was punctured and running very soft I do not know and had not considered. Conversely I do recall getting only a mile or so down the road with a sidecar outfit without security bolts on a chromed steel rim before the tube ripped out of the rear tube. :) [/QUOTE]
