Interesting, because on the recent wheel installation I gave the pitlock skewer 1/4 turn less than normal since I noticed my front DO getting bent looking a little. Thought I must be overdoing the skewer tightness. I will re-snug and see if that quiets it down. Thanks! -- You received this mes

Grant will gladly discuss these issues with you, based on my experience asking him about TAIHomer vs. Roadini vs. MUSARoadeo. I was researching this all in depth for my latest purchase. I wanted the lightest tubing set they make because I knew the usual Riv 8/5/8 frames fight against me on hills.

Roadini specs from RBW: Roadini: “0.9 x 0.7 TT and the length is cut from the butt (0.9) end. So you get the 0.9 up at the front, where top tubes buckle. The 0.7 is on the thick side for a belly (though it's the same as old Columbus SP, which was 1.0 x 0.7 x 1.0--as a historical reference).
