I am trying to put a rear wheel on a bike. Have done it 1,000,000 times before but this one seems a bit tricky and has defeated me currently. When I tighten the track nuts the whole wheel shifts forward even though I have carboard between the wheel and the seat tube to keep the wheel correctly positioned and the chain tight. The movement of the track nut drags the wheel bottom bracket wards and loosens the chain.
It seems like the track nuts are not gripping the dropouts correctly and shifting when i tighten my nuts. They are normal DA hubs and DA track nuts ?
Anyone ?
