[Rhodes22-list] Tiller Hiking Stick Bolt

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

Only for Marc B:

Time for a new Rhodes.

I was hoping you would tell me.  OK, if I can't count on you for good 
info, my guess is that they do not tighten the nut but merely keep it 
from rotating with something like a flat blade screwdriver while they 
rotate the hiking stick - its long length make it a great wrench.

If that does not work I will brush up my Spanish and find out under the 
old what goes up must be able to come down rule that extends to what can 
be installed and then uninstalls itself, must be able to be re-installed.
