I've just been doing some work on my rear wheel and noticed
how little of the axle is being used to support the frame.
It looks to me that the weight of the bike may even be being
supported by the quick release screw. Anyway, I'm hoping
someone can let me know if this is normal or a recipe for
disaster. Seeing I'm only just recovering from a headstem
stuff up, I think I might get banned from cycling if another
mechanical failure occurs. I dropped some pics onto the
following url to show what I mean.
