New wheel, old steel bike. Powerful stroke sends wheel into left chainstay
So I need a good solution. I'm running new 650b wheels on a 1984 Nishiki Prestige. If I'm pedaling smooth and not forceful, no issues. However, if I decided to stand on the pedals and give a forceful stroke, the modern rear skewer cannot hold the wheel, and now the wheel is pushed over to the left chainstay.
Are there any good skewers with a good bite that can hold this. I can take my newer skewers and really torque the wheel down, and this holds most of the time. But, I do assume a better solution is out there.
