Zoo Fork + Quick release?

[Bryan]

My front wheel moves around, mostly after taps, no matter how hard I clamp it down. This causes my brake to rub. Hard. The wheel doesn't spin. I have to get off the bike and re-seat the wheel.

There's a space between the edge of the nut there and the edge of the impression.

So:
1- Are there any skewers with wider nuts?
2- If I went with a bolt-on skewer, would I be able to fix it?

you mean a nutted axle or a skewer with a bolthead instead of a QR?

Skewer with a bolthead
I can't run a nutted axle

[tomacropod]

I'm not sure that it would actually hold any tighter than a decent QR. Have you tried using a decent one? Use a shimano. They grab tighter.

ive had that probllem on my gu fork for a year now. Switched to a bolt up hub (zhi) and it actually seems to hold its position now. There should be a less $$ solution though.

[TheGhost]

what hub and what QR? i'm with tomac on the shimano one, switched to one on the front with my gu fork and no problems now.

[Bryan]

American Classic hub, unknown QR. Got it for free at the LBS.
No Shimano available here. Would Salsa or the DT swiss ratchet one work?

[tomacropod]

sure, why not. I think.

Salsa is awesome :bigthumb:. I had the same problem, switched to Salsa, problem solved.

Ya salsa QRs Rock. That is what i use on my zoo fork with no movement and I am not exatly a small or easy(250lbs and beat the shit out of my bike)riding guy.

Hope QR has been absolutely fine in my Zoo! Pitbull fork (running with a 203mm Avid BB7) for over a year...

[egidio]

QR is stronger that you would expect, i had the same problems

Salsa has gnurls and grabs your dropouts hard.

[Bryan]
