ok, i weigh maybe 120 with my shoes and a back pack on
and just was told at the bike shop that i have a bent
axle on my 10 year old campy-hubbed rear wheel. too
much riding down curbs? i have never had this
experience before with any bike i know of. this is on
a 1982-ish bianchi that i don't believe has any
allignment problem.
