Should I be concerned? Running the rear on a standard deore m475 wheel with 146mm qr axle on my recently built 2nd hand 2010 orange five until I save for some stealth wheelset. But the rear to me just seems to pop out too easily when I remove the wheel. My other bike running some hopes takes abit more encouraging. Is there an issue with the five having poor anti slip grooves on the frame or should I be looking for a new diff wheelset sharpish?
Or am I paranoid
I think it's the wheel. Try the hope wheel in it nice and tight.
Get shot of it. You'll come to no good on a 5.
Injuries beckon.
I'll make you an offer if you like?
Don't be silly. It is fine.
Do I need 15mm qr perhaps rather than 9mm?
You need to stop worrying about problems that don't exist.
Grtdkad: your names looks like Grandad
Stuart. Should have said. Wheel popped out last week causing mild grazing to pride
... Feel like a grandad too!!!
£700 cash and I'll take it off your hands. I'd be doing you a favour tbh!
Have you "upgraded" to a non shimano skewer?
Or maybe dismantled the deore hub and left something out reducing its width?
Nope all standard. Thinking axle dia should be bigger and same for qr perhaps.
Could it be that due to cup and cone bearings, when the axle has loosened and been retightened, it is now longer on one side than the other... i.e. off centre~ has this on a bike a couple of months ago, where the wheel was basically only engaging with the dropout on 1 side.
Jivehoneyjive. I think you are on it. Just inspected the axle and one length of exposed threaded bar is longer than the other. I can see how that can happen with a qr. cheers!
Resolved thanks to lbs. New axle new bearings and new cups. All in all greased and that wheels going nowhere. I think the axles nuts loosened from a year of qr release/tighten and that made axle loose and buggered the cups.
