It's now a year since the QR/disk brake problem hit the headlines, and I thought some of you might be interested in hearing how the manufacturers are dealing with it. I'm pretty sure some manufacturers are now starting to put the disc on the RH side of the fork. It's certainly an accepted problem. |

I *can* see that putting the calipers in front of the fork would help, but the right hand side? What am I missing? -- Dave dvt at psu dot edu |

Is there such a thing as too tight? Is there a danger of the skewer being over-stressed and being more likely to fail? Well, skewers do break. It's rare for good quality steel skewers to break but others do. Greg |

How many people are having this problem? Out of how many disk users? Sorry, but every single time I've seen pictures of these 'incidents' it looks like improperly set skewers to me. It's much easier to blame the user. That's what you're doing and that's what the manufacturers are doing. Even though they know the forces acting to rip the wheel out of the dropout are high. Greg |

... It's now a year since the QR/disk brake problem hit the headlines, and I thought some of you might be interested in hearing how the manufacturers are dealing with it. I keep hearing about this issue with greater frequency, but I've been running discs for a few years now and it's only popped out once in that time. It was my fault on that occasion, I realized afterwards that I hadn't properly tightend the QR. Now that it's been mentioned though, I have noticed the "Lawyer Lip" on my Bomber. It's a few years old too but it definitely keeps the wheel on even with the QR loosened. |

What am I missing? putting it on the right side of the fork would also put it on the front of the fork if you're using existing brakes. -- david reuteler |
