The diameter of the skewer is a bit too wide. Looks like just under 6mm. The hub is brand new, just arrived, and appears perfect in the light of the battery headlight it is supposed to replace. Jay On Sunday, November 20, 2016 at 10:29:25 PM UTC+2, Ray Varella wrote: > > Jay, > When you

Jay, When you say the skewer is too wide, are you referring to the diameter of the skewer being too big around to slide through the hole in the axle or are you saying that even with the nut screwed all the way down on the skewer it won't close tight enough when you clamp down the quick
