If you ride off-road in brushy areas I think your skewers' levers should point backwards, as close to 9 o'clock as possible. This reduces the possibilty that protruding foliage can flip your lever and ruin your day.<BR/><BR/>Which brings me to a personal peeve as a former wrench, people who are smart enough to become Dr's and Lawyers, but can't seem to understand that a QR lever is not there to spin the the nut tight against the drop out. You have to actually flip the lever so that it says "closed", (text that is probably there because of a lawyer.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-77225681798953174202007-06-29T12:48:00.000-04:002007-06-29T12:48:00.000-04:00Anonymous 6/29,Not saying I use it, but love him o...Anonymous 6/29,<BR/><BR/>Not saying I use it, but love him or hate him, JB himself endorses motor oil:<BR/><BR/>http://sheldonbrown.com/brandt/chain-care.html<BR/><BR/>I've heard it said that Prolink is just motor oil and kerosene, the kerosene being simply a conduit to help the oil penetrate the chain.<BR/><BR/>We all cling to our own chain lubes for various intangible reasons.
