Default Nice

I like the rubber tube around the spoke to keep the wire from scratching the wheel.
As with all safety wire I think it should keep the nut tight. The opposite direction idea / loosening indicator, doesn't make too much sense to me.

if you do the wire in the proper direction , but leave a small arch in the wire, you can tell if the spinner is coming loose by the wire becoming tight.

This is the way we do all ours for racing. The wire will not keep the nut tight but it will keep it from coming off and it is an easy check.

Just another idea..... I used 3M tape and wrapped it around the spoke where I was going to wrap the safety wire and it worked really well....kept the wheel from getting scratched and you really can't see it.
