|   Drop outs on my 2001 fsr XC HELP PLEASE! | james
Mar 27, 2003 4:23 PM | | Not long after i built up my 2001 fsr xc pro i noticed that the quick release heads had to be rediculously tight to keep from moving in the rear drop outs. by the time i got the QR tight enough not to move, the drop outs had already lost enough aluminum that there is a serious problem keeping the QR in place. has anyone else encountered this problem? what is the best QR to use to keep the axl in place. is there a fix to the drop oouts them selves (they are not removeable.)
thanks

| What type of skewers do you have? | Tscheezy
Mar 27, 2003 6:00 PM | | They might just suck. Salsa makes very good skewers which hold well. It really should not take all that much pressure to keep the wheel in the drops. I don't have an FSR but I have not heard of this issue with them. Are they semi-horizontal or something silly like that?

Solution?
Snug it up real tight.
End of story. |

Jun 15, 2003 9:51 PM | | Try using a Quick release nut that is all metal and has a large knurled surface (face). The One that came with my bike was a plastic nut with a small knurled surface that was chewing up my dropout. I just replaced it with a nut from a early 1990s XT quick release it seems a lot more solid. |
