OK, so I have big feet, and my size 12s may have bumped it when I had the lever pointed 'forward', but I've also experimented with the lever pointed every other way, and invariably finish a ride, and find the lever has slackened off by up to 90 deg. Not happy <img src="http://singletrackworld.com/forum/my-plugins/bbcode-buttons/default/icon_confused.gif" title=":?" class="bb_smilies" alt=""/> </p> <p>The other systems I've got or have used are a DH-style 'bolt through' with pinch bolts on the frame, and a Rockshox Maxle. Neither of these has ever come undone or slackened off. The biggest difference I see I'm losing with the DT Swiss RWS is that the whole system relies on the tension being held in the screw-thread, as there is no cam/wedge to hold/jam the axle/maxle in place.</p> <p>So, has anyone else found this an issue? Is my only option to buy a 12mm Maxle? </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/somedays-i-love-my-job#post-3801183 Thu, 17 May 2012 09:23:58 +0000 rogerthecat 3801183@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Client meeting today with a crew from Berkhamsted, two of them coming up.</p> <p>Being hospitable we suggested they arrive around 10am - 2.5 hours meeting and we would take them for lunch.
