What did you do to your bike today? (v2)
Danno:
I cleaned my rims and decided I'm going to get some Odyssey rims soon as the I've had the Fly front ones on there for years now. I don't know which ones though.

my friends thunderbolts always seem to wobble. he cranks up the bolt with mad force but in 5 minutes they still wobble, no matter what the spacer combination.
also, my other friends wombolts also seem to wobble but thats acceptable (those cranks are like 5 years old)

Something is definitely wrong there. Are you sure your friend has the right size tube spacer in his BB?

I have never come across a set of Wom/Thunderbolts that had wobble which wasn't due either to a lack of spacers or spacer tube, or insufficient grease under the head of the bolt or on the wedges. That lip on the cranks where the bolt head runs MUST be well greased so it can go tight properly.
If it is an old set of Wombolts with the old wedges then having some of the wedges upside down can cause it also.
I hope this helps.
