Lawyer lips are absent

requiring that too.


I've seen (on nutted axles) an equivalent - washers with tabs that project
at right angles into cutouts in the dropouts.

Long time ago, I came out of a condo in Honolulu; unlocked my 10-speed from a
lamp post; got on; rode away into traffic.... and found somebody had cut my
brake cables.
