i def. find that possible. only because it has happened. i brought it to my lbs and guy said my dropouts were loose...even before i went i tried forcing it side to side without problems/noise. he showed me how to 'lock' a skewer on tightly and thats what i did. i just dont want to hurt the carbon fork thats on it right now...later on the road it sends me flying into a death trap...i've tightened it where a dent was left on my hand...

the hubs are not sealed. i have no knowledge in dissembling a hub nor would i even try its pretty new. i got over 1k on it. i ride it with care too (not deliberately on rough dirt roads/ potholes, jumping curbs or in water puddles if i can help it)
