Or the bike is doing things that weren't envisioned when the bike was designed. I never dreamed I'd be running 35c tires and fix gear on my Peter Mooney when I ordered it 41 years ago to ride very rough gravel. I did spec horizontal dropouts so I "could" run fix gear if I ever wanted to but never dreamed I would.
Guess that makes me an idiot. Funny, I thought I was being smart.
