I never knew a derailleur that would absorb pedalling forces. In my 12+ years of riding fixed and ss, I've never had a problem with QRs as long as the QRs are the old, (1) all steel, (2) internal cam type. My chains will slacken very slightly after a few 10s of miles, but they also do this with track nuts and solid axles. I'd say, get your QR very tight, and only if that doesn't work, go to the axle adjuster used with track ends. But I'd be surprised if they are really necessary. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
