More old-style dropout issues.
I've worn a particular groove into the right drop-out where the nut now likes to sit, but the chain is way too slack there.
I shuffle it back but it keeps slipping back into the groove on impact with potholes or when pulling Wicked-Cool skids.
I probably shouldn't have overtightened to create the groove in the first place, but is there a solution? File it down and start over?
