[QUOTE=flyhi46c] I noticed that even when the wheel is pushed as far as it will go into the drop outs, that the rear wheel is not perfectly aligned with the seat tube. It is slightly cocked. I corrected this by pulling the wheel out of the right dropout by about 1/4 inch and retightening.

I don't think you're being fussy at all in being concerned about this, but I want to make sure I understand--is the issue that essentially one of the drop out slots sits further back than the other, such that you can eyeball-align the wheel correctly relative to the chainstays and seatube by having on axle side sit further forward than the other? If that's the case, I wouldn't be thrilled about it, but I could live with it. If instead you're having trouble getting the wheel parallel w/ the seat tube, that's a different story. It may be less of a problem when riding, but it can't be easily fixed.

Right now I'm planning on buying a Xootr next month, so I'm disappointed to hear about this issue. I've also corresponded with someone who discovered a crack in theirs around the seat clamp (top clamp, I think). Are there any other quality control issues people know about?

Thanks,
Jack
