thin rubber from old tube solved my issue

have had this problem before, adapter just wasn't tight enough, get the allen heads for a ratchete wrench, sometimes its hard to tighten with a regular allen wrench as the spokes get in the way, a ratcheting wrench will solve this.

The ideal thing would be if Pirate would include torque specs with their adapters. I mean how hard would it be to drop a little sheet of paper in each box?

I was having a problem with slipping, but not anymore after I torqued the bolts to 20 ft lb.

After looking at that chart I hope the clamping bolts are 5/16.
