A previous post about nuts has reminded me that I needed an answer to a question, hopefully someone here knows/ can remember the answer.
I've recently fitted quick release hubs to my kart (only 1 big nut) and 2 are normal clockwise to tighten and 2 a re anticlock to tighten. Now I should know this as I used to have a car with single nut fit wheels but for the life of me I cant remember with any certainty. So the question is, should the nuts tighten as you turn them to the front of the kart or to the rear, my memory is saying they should tighten as you turn to the front ie clockwise on the offside and anti on the nearside but my memory is not what it used to be.
Cheers
