Is there such a thing as too tight? Is there a danger of the skewer being over-stressed and being more likely to fail? With quick-release, if you have the skewers too tight, they can make the hub bearings bind. Giant's bike manual suggested that the levers were too loose if closing them didn't leave an imprint in my palm. Doing so meant the wheels stopped rotating within about 3/4 revolution, compared to around 20 when loose. Cones can be loosened to compensate for a tighter skewer. In other words, readjust so there's more play in the hub before QR is done up, to cope with the greater axle compression when it is closed. I don't think it's an issue for cartridge bearings. This is besides the point though. There's obviously a fundamental problem with the type of setup in question. Doing up the QR a bit tighter hardly seems like a satisfactory solution. ~PB |

It's now a year since the QR/disk brake problem hit the headlines, and I thought some of you might be interested in hearing how the manufacturers are dealing with it. I'm pretty sure some manufacturers are now starting to put the disc on the RH side of the fork. It's certainly an accepted problem. |

I'm pretty sure some manufacturers are now starting to put the disc on the RH side of the fork. I might be dense, but I can't see how that would help. I *can* see that putting the calipers in front of the fork would help, but the right hand side? What am I missing? -- Dave dvt at psu dot edu |

Is there such a thing as too tight? Is there a danger of the skewer being over-stressed and being more likely to fail? Well, skewers do break. It's rare for good quality steel skewers to break but others do. Greg |
