[RBW] Pitlock Skewer assistance

2019-02-26 Thread Edwin W 
I’m so glad I’m not the only one that has these kind of “user errors” when 
working on bikes. 
Always learning from this list,

Edwin

I had this problem with a Pinhead (pitlock-like) seat binder I recently 
purchased from a listmember. It's a bunch of pieces and it took me a whole day 
to figure out how to mount them. Then it didn't even fit my frame!

Sometimes, you just have to stare at it for a while before it makes sense. Glad 
you figured it out!

Thanks for all the advice!  It's been solved.  I'm just going to call it a

Is the threaded portion the same? Perhaps you’ve reached the end of the threads 
on the skewer before it gets tight?

Is the axle moving in the dropout? If it's not and the rim has play, your hub 
bearings need to be adjusted.

[RBW] Pitlock Skewer assistance

2019-02-25 Thread Friend 
Hi friends,
I recently got a Pitlock skewer set and after I installed it I noticed some 
play/wiggle in my rear rim.  When I try to tighten the skewer further the 
bald/coned end just turns with it.  I can't seem to get the skewer tight 
enough but it seems to be the same length and my previous quick release 
skewer.  Any tips, thoughts, or experience that might help are welcome.
