1. is this tech group for road questions or off-road or both?
2. at the end of a recent off-road ride, i stopped to adjust the bearings on my King front hub
(i've got a Vanilla Cyles lugged rigid fork with Independent Fabrications style stainless steel
dropouts....if this info is of any help). to do that it requires removing the QR. when i removed
the QR, i could see that it was a slightly bent. not enough to make it hard to remove fromt he
hub but enough to be visible.
my question is...how does a front QR rod get bent? it's all housed internally so in a crash, it's
not exposed to rocks, roots.... also, i figure, if anything was to get damaged in a crash, it would
be the lever or the nut on the other end. it's a pre-GT Syncros steel QR.
