Skewer with more bite?

[Brett 12]

Sometimes my rear wheel gets torqued a little bit when I mash on the pedals......when I look at the tire it will be angled towards the left chainstay. I try to tighten the skewer as much as possible, but sometimes the wheel does this and I have to loosen the skewer and realign the wheel again.

Is there a better skewer out there than the standard shimano one that grips better?

A shimno skewer is as good as they come. There could be other issues like a grooved dropout,reversed locknut or an axel too long for the dropout.

Maybe it is because I adjusted both drop-out screws all the way back.

an axel too long for the dropout.

There's my vote. (assuming you are using the QR properly)

Also, check and make sure the QR springs are in the right way, or take them out altogether.

Yeh, I'll third that. The symptom described is exactly what will happen if the axle is flush with, or extends outside of, the right side drop out. It should be 1-2mm short of flush with the outsides of the dropouts on both ends.
