On my first KR, the retract gear collapsed 3 times before I wised up and converted to fixed.

Heath - Lexington, SC -------Original Message------- I am new to the list. I just purchased a KR2 with retracts. I have read about the gear collapses, but I am not clear if they are mostly nose gear, mains, or both.
