Default An open challenge to all the Vendors here

What are the chances of one of you building a rear rim that is close to a motorcycle rim.
What I mean by that is a wheel with real Bearings and maybe even a grease nipple. I picture an Aluminum hub with skateboard style bearings pressed in and while we're at it, an axle that does not bend!
I'd bet that we would go faster as well.

I am tired of having to remove my rear wheel every two months to tighten them up knowing that they will stretch again (or whatever happens).
I don't know if it will help but I'm ready to drill a hole and install a grease nipple in my rim.

sounds like you have a good idea.
on the other hand, performing that little bit of maintenance only every couple months is a blessing, compared to the weekly up-keep with everything else.
