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

Thanks Hugh. Actually the coldest I've camped in is -35C, which is -31F. That was so...brutally...cold. I was pretty green in terms of winter camping then, I think I'd be better prepared to handle that now. Pretty much anything warmer than -20C/-4F is pretty straight forward now, and a ton of fun!
