I have SP hubs on two bikes, and have never had this happen. Are you sure the quick release is tight enough? I'm not sure why the connector would rotate backwards like this, but that's the first thing I would check.
I'm also concerned that your front wheel isn't sitting in the fork ends correctly. Based on your photos, it looks like it's a few millimeters out from where it should be. I'd look into that as well--perhaps the springs on the skewer are somehow preventing the wheel from fully engaging in the fork ends, which might have something to do with the rotation? --Eric N www.CampyOnly.com CampyOnlyGuy.blogspot.com Twitter: @CampyOnlyGuy > On Jan 27, 2016, at 4:51 PM, MattB <mattb...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Last fall I built a new front wheel for my Atlantis with one of the Shutter > Precision generator hubs, best thing I've ever added to my bike by the way, > but I've been experiencing an odd phenomenon with the electrical connector. > The first attached picture shows the rotational location of the connector > with respect to the fork blade.
