It's not something that should have to be adjusted often, so why not
replace the knob with a bolt of the same thread with a jam nut as
suggested. Adjust it with a wrench, hold it in place and tighten the
jam nut. You might also use thread-lock in the little tube. I use
that a lot in places that do not require often use.

Not a problem if you do not take the tension of the tires between
usage. For those that do, more trouble.


If you need to release the tension regularly, you could do what I did to
mine.

Wow that is pretty darn cool! Fortunately mine has a 6" dial to turn
about "a" revolution to tension.
