« on: August 07, 2003, 02:52:22 am »
HERE'S a good one [smiley=diaper.gif].  Just got my new '03 Z1 Freeride for my Evo and damned if my locking skewer on my Yakima rack won't close because there isn't enough clearance near the dropout..............&*(%^%$.  Any suggestions??  Don't these guys ever think about this stuff??

Good news/bad news :o

There is a company that makes stuff to fix your problem.  Bad news is I hear they are behind production so eveyone complaining about getting one.

Actually, I have standard dropouts.  However I figgered out a simple solution.  I put a couple of star washers on the 9mm shaft to space the locking mechanism a bit further from the lowers on the fork.  Worked like a charm.  Thanks for the input.
