We choose to go to on with this endeavour at this time and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard…

Strikes me that having two is more useful though? With one you are still manually lining the wheel up as it can rotate on the single bolt.

No, its a issue of weight, normally the wheel wants to fall outwards off the hub. Once you have on the wheel on over the chamfered hub and a bolt in, they are all lined up
