So what skewers are people recommending these days?
One other area I looked again at last night was the gear hanger. I had to replace this when I got the bike (the bike was second hand and the old one snapped when refitting the rear derailleur). The new one fitted the frame spot on but the wheel was out of true with the frame so I took a file to it to line things up. I may have been a tad too enthusiastic and I only lined the wheel up by eye. It does sit pretty central between the seat stays (probably within a mm) although the mm out is in the direction which would kick the wheel over towards the cage.
All the above aside, there is no rub when I switch wheels to my Mavic Ksyriums which also have standard skewers...
