  • QR to bolt through setup for bikepacking?

    I run a QR SP dynamo hub on the front of my 29er and on my latest trip I really noticed a lot of flex between what the bars where doing and what the front wheel was doing, especially, when climbing out of the saddle. I have yet been unable to deduce whether the problem lies with the stantions / fork crown of the 32mm Fox forks, or the QR wheel.

    What I noticed was that when climbing and pulling on the bars I seemed to get a fair amount of twist on the front end and also lateral movement. Headset had no play and the front wheel had recently been tensioned. The whole front end of the bike did not feel very stiff and seemed to flex in all directions just a little too much.

    I had about 7kg of gear hanging off the bars.

    Keen to hear from others who have experienced the same issue and what you did to resolve it. Forks / stem / bars … ?
