Not familiar with wheels w/quick releases. Didn't know what a "Skewer" was (for bikes). Now I do. Thanks.

My concern for damaging spokes is valid from my past experience with a wheel containing rusting spokes and a bent hub. It's much better to fire away here / get good answers than to have to report back that I ruined a great wheel. It doesn't seem like there's much room for error on the part of the derailleur. Most likely there's enough room, but my inexperience was yelling in my head there's not enough clearance between the largest sproket and the spokes!!!

Freewheel grease: Thanks for mentioning you use grease. What kind besides thick? An auto-mechanic mentioned Graphite / Molly grease. Buy that at an autoparts store. Is that good?
