My left hand doesn't know what my right hand is doing
Having realized that the right side wheel nuts on the rear rim were LH thread, I proceeded to the right front, to discover that those wheel nuts were RH thread. I then proceeded with suspicion to the left front wheel to indeed discover those nuts and studs to be LH. So what gives? Are the opposite handed threads supposed to be on opposite corners, or on the right side only? Right side makes sense, opposite corners seems peculiar. Did some genius - perhaps the same guy who cold chisels hub nuts on and off - just throw the hub on without bothering to think to hard about the handedness of things?
I guess if I dig around in the manuals a little more, I may find the answer to which side what goes on.
It's nutty.
