PSA: Forged Cross Spoke Lug Covers
This may be obvious to some of you, but it wasn't to me so I thought I'd mention it: when re-installing the round metal cover that goes over the lug bolts on the cross spoke wheels, you need to rotate the cover plate itself until it seats. The first time I did it, I didn't spin the cover and just started tightening down the nut. It was only about halfway home when it stopped turning. I thought I had cross threaded it, so took it off and it was fine. Reinstalled, and the same thing happened. Ended up torquing it too much and rounded off the plastic nut on the socket tool. Looks like I'll be ordering a new $45 socket.
