However, I can't believe the bar end weight assembly is designed to take a lot of pressure. I have had two Wees, a Vee, and a Glee and I have just checked Wee2 and found that just like the others the long bolt that holds it together is a little bit bent. Similarly I have always been able to unscrew them without a screwdriver just by turning the bar weights. I always give them a little tightening twist as I go along on longish journeys. Not so much a plan as habitual paranoia.
