*Paracord wrap p brake handle for now till I figure out what I want

I hear u, its not that expensive if u use the rennline kit. The tarret or msi stuff is a little pricey.
I pulled the tires on and off 3 times last night to check clearences on the new to me nt-01s so the expense was worth it for a much easier evenng.
I can just see now the barrel of **** I’m going to get from you guys if I ever put studs on the car...
If I do it, I’m not telling a soul and will intentionally hide any photographic evidence...
BTW... The MSI is the only way to go for good reliability on them from people I trust... snapping the studs is something that has been reported on some brands..
At least hypothetically, if I was going to put studs on, which I’m not... cause I can’t be wrong I would go with MSI.
I will say, hanger vs studs, seems about the same or similar time to change. I have titanium bolts, and no hanger, and probably takes me double the time to swap the wheels.

It's tough enough with one hanger, but with none? I just ordered a second one. That should make it a bit easier on my old body.

Before I went to Renline studs, I used two hanger bolt, one from tool kit and another I made at least a inch longer than the tool kit hanger, made it way easier to install the wheel onto one first and then find the second hanger. highly recommend the studs kit from Renline.
fabbed the hanger from a 14mm 1.5 thread metric bolt, cut off the hex head and rounded it off. ACE or Home Depot carry the bolts.

I guess I need to take my tires off more often to understand the difference. For now, I'm in the cheap corner...
