Tightening that SSA wheel nut.

Getting it off hasn’t been a problem, I just wazzed it off with the impact gun, but tightening it has always given me grief. Parking the front wheel against the wall and getting SWMBO to sit on the bike with it in gear and the brake on wasn’t the best. How do I stop the wheel turning, I thought of a disc lock, but it wouldn’t fit in the space, so I came up with this.

Turn the hub until it rests on the calliper bracket.

Wheel on, torque it up!
