[RBW] Re: 59cm MIT Atlantis build and (short) ride report
Hey Brynnar, that is a sweet build. Scott at ICS has built a couple of wheels for me as well, a really good guy! I’m in Indy as well and ride what I think is the only Hilborne, sparkly, orange Atlantis, at least the only one I know of. We need to hook up for an Indy ramble.

[RBW] Re: Mystery Science Question
The suggestion to return to the original QR skewer is a good one. I've re-installed the previous one. I realized that I have now changed far too many variables to assess a root cause, assuming the rotation is corrected. I suppose at this point it doesn't really matter if the rotation has stopped.

Re: [RBW] Mystery Science Question
Eric, thanks for the reply. The quick release was my first thought as well. I've made sure it's tight. I think the mark around the quick release axle nut is due to this one being smaller in diameter than the last. This is the quick release the Riv folks sent with the hub, it's quite nice. The last one I used, that resulted in the loss of paint on the drop out, was larger. When I try to manually rotate the connector back toward the fork blade, it does not move. I'm completely flummoxed! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Re: [RBW] Mystery Science Question
The vibration theory is really intriguing. I've rotated the connector around so that it faces "down" as suggested and will see if it continues to move against or with the hub rotation. I can confirm plenty of rough street input to the fork as I commute, so if the road vibration is a driving factor, I wonder if I can find a null point where both directional forces are equalized? The mind does wander commuting on frozen , dark streets. Thanks for the interesting input. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Re: Bottom Bracket Changes
Thanks To all. Many good points I hadn't considered. Of course I'm embarrassed that I'd forgotten the first step in the Standard Bicycle Diagnostic Flowchart, check Sheldon's website!
