Shifting got all sloppy on the Battaglin yesterday. Turns out the rear wheel slipped in the dropout, because the chrome dropout and the chrome Campy QR skewer don't really grip well unless you torque the thing down. I'm considering attacking the bottom of the drive side nut with a file, maybe crosshatch it or something to it grips better. You'd think Campy would have thought of this. Perhaps they didn't account for my massive guads and my ability to throw down a 900 watt sprint.
