My Homer has a Deore XT derailer and LX hubs. No problems removing the rear wheel.
Hope you had a good ride.

I do know how to properly remove a wheel. It's an issue of space between where the rear derailer attaches to the hanger and the skewer bolt. And no I'm not mounting the wheel with the quick release on the drive side. I'm not sure if maybe my derailer (LX RR) is extra thick around the mounting bolt or what. And my Homer has 135 spacing with a 135 hub (XT). I'm just curious if other Homer owners had a similar issue. Oh, and the derailer hanger is not bent, or not as far as I can tell. I've had this issue since I first obtained the frame. Off for a ride now. --mike On Apr 7, 8:53 am, Seth Vidal <skvi...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Tue, Apr 7, 2009 at 11:49 AM, Joe Bartoe <jbar...@hotmail.com> wrote: > > Hi Mike- > > > Make sure you shift into the smallest cog in the rear before you remove > > the > > wheel.
