@RoboKaren Peukert ? something to do with SLA batteries being fully-discharged at 10.5V ?
So - I managed to pull the rear wheel out of the folder three times on the way home tonight
Even cinching the QR down super tight it still pulls forward on the right side, jambing against the left brake and chainstay and bending the rear mudguard stay on the right.
I've removed the trailer towball which was a metal plate on the left side, no difference
I'm sure its due to excessive leverage and power in the chain
cos it always happens on a hard take off modest
Do I need a chain tug to hold the axle in place? Do I need to rebuild the axle on a solid one with nuts, not a hollow QR one?
Is it because the 8 speed wheel's axle is wider so the drop-outs aren't completely parallel ?
