A rim mounting construction including a hollow hub mounting shaft having an apertured annular flange for mounting on rim mounting lugs, a spoked rim having a hub, interfitting splines on the hub and the hub mounting shaft, a hub securing nut having a shoulder for bearing against the hub and a threaded connection with the hub mounting shaft so that the shoulder will bear against the hub to retain it in position on the hub mounting shaft when the first threaded connection is tightened, a locking nut secured within the hub mounting shaft, and a locking bolt having a second threaded connection with the locking nut and having a head with a surface for bearing against the securing nut after the second threaded connection is tightened, the first and second threaded connections being of opposite hand whereby an attempted unthreading of the first threaded connection will result in a tightening of the second threaded connection to thereby prevent loosening of the securing nut, the head of the locking bolt having a curvilinear groove therein which can receive a mating curvilinear ridge on a key for loosening and tightening the locking bolt.
