It’s also doing something I have brought up before and I don’t understand.
So I know I mentioned in the past with The Lance, trek 5500, when I had the mavic krysiums on it, I had too tighten the skewers super tight in order for the wheels to not have play. I have since switch wheels to the old mavic opens with the shimano hubs and I am having the same problem. So then I thought maybe the superteam skewers suck. So just now I put a brand new never been used skewer on the rear wheel and tightened it to a “normal” tightness and sure enough rear wheel has play.
I tighten the skewer more to where it almost uncomfortable to close it, play is gone.
That doesn’t seem normal to me.

could have a lifetime warranty - take to a Trek dealer and inquire

also have a Tag Heuer ... F1 model or something like that ... needs a battery - brought it to a jeweler that is a Tag retailer for battery replacement - but they said it should be returned to the manufacturer for a ‘tuneup’ or service or whatever ... so now it just sits in a drawer

OTOH, some of my best finds were watches that stopped running 50+ years ago and got tossed in a drawer, because $20 for service was more than $15 for a Timex. Sometimes, all they need is a service* to run for decades more.
*"Service" means taking the movement all the way apart, cleaning everything completely, inspecting the parts, reassembling, and regulating. A pro can do all but the regulating in about an hour and a half.

I tighten the skewer more to where it almost uncomfortable to close it, play is gone.
That doesn’t seem normal to me.
