Can't imagine why that would spin. I have two bikes with Shimano dynamos, no problems. Anyways, I'm questioning someting that was said earlier, about preferred locations for the connection. Is having the connector facing down better for waterproofing? Seems like the cap would then become somethi

Matt: Have you tried putting the old skewer back in? FYI, one of my SP hubs is held in with a older-style QR skewer, the other with a threaded type that requires an Allen wrench. No movement on either one over thousands of miles of riding. --Eric Norris campyonly...@me.com www.campyonly.com c

The vibration theory is really intriguing. I've rotated the connector around so that it faces "down" as suggested and will see if it continues to move against or with the hub rotation. I can confirm plenty of rough street input to the fork as I commute, so if the road vibration is a driving fact

Matt B I have the same hub on two bikes, including my commuter, and I agree with you that it can't be moved by force. I'm similarly flummoxed, and mine never moves on its own. Maybe somebody monkeyed with your bike while it was parked? Wanted to steal your front wheel, undid the QR, realized

1. Open QR 2. Rotate the wheel so that the hub's terminal "outlet" faces the ground, then re-close the QR. That way rain water drips off and doesn't get guided to the outlet like it would when facing upward. Be sure to let a little bit of a wire loop hang down for the water to run off. And , may

Eric, thanks for the reply. The quick release was my first thought as well. I've made sure it's tight. I think the mark around the quick release axle nut is due to this one being smaller in diameter than the last. This is the quick release the Riv folks sent with the hub, it's quite nice. Th

I have SP hubs on two bikes, and have never had this happen. Are you sure the quick release is tight enough? I'm not sure why the connector would rotate backwards like this, but that's the first thing I would check. I'm also concerned that your front wheel isn't sitting in the fork ends correct
