Paulie: This is really bizarre - Just two days ago the same thing happened to me but on a Maillard rear wheel circa 1974. Never, never, never in my life has this ever happened. Now I am trying to find a skewer - so far no luck at all. I hope your luck is better. Weird. Richard Cielec Chicago, Illinois

Tonight I suddenly find I'm unable to tighten my front skewer any longer, it simply resists taking a good bite in the dropout no matter what I do. I never had this happen before, but that part is probably really old.

No more riding ahead this trip, but just curious. I'll swap it out when I get home.

Thanks for your answers,
