Do You Guys Constantly Re-touch Wheel Spokes?

[ericr]

were the original lug nuts on the wheels slightly wider than repros, as it seems to me the wheels always get scratched using the crank tool, which is a sloppy fit.


Do you guys use a regular socket to take wheels off?


I once saw a suggestion to wrap foam around the crank tool but in any event, how do you guys avoid marring the spokes and the wheel hub, especially on colored wheels.
