I just read the RR article about proper quick release usage. It's unfortunate to see that Grant was dragged into a lawsuit over an improperly installed wheel -- I really hope that he prevails! While I understand the need for some sort of retention device on low end bikes (**), it seems silly to put them on high end bikes.
This got me to thinking... I didn't look closely at the fork dropouts on the bikes when I was test riding: Will I find lawyer lips on my Waterford built AHH that's due to arrive in the new few weeks? Looking on Flickr I found some pictures that seem to indicate that I won't... http://www.flickr.com/photos/boxdogbikes/5061605656/ I surely hope not, though I'd understand if it were to happen. (**) A few months ago, while driving, I saw a teenage boy riding a department store bike with a floppy QR skewer on the sidewalk. I pulled off into a parking lot and intercepted the rider to fix it for him, worried that he'd go off a curb and lose the front wheel. I asked him if he knew how it worked, and he had no clue. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
