[MENTION=69140]hack[/MENTION] did not post Vias.
I talked to Specalized and no recall on non-vias. Basically a pain they do not want to deal with. I have it fixed and not planning on selling so likely will do nothing.
The dropout angles cause the wheel to come out under chain tension that is just math/force vectors and easy to show.
It is the skewer clamping that keeps the wheels in. The other bikes I have don't don't need any clamping to keep the wheels in.
I believe this was an engineering over-site.
