I've been having trouble keeping my rear wheel aligned. I didn't know what was causing it to move until earlier today (originally thought it was just from getting bumped around during transport or loading/unloading from vehicle) put plainly: my fat ass. :hate:

Mashing the pedals during climbing is actually pulling the cassette side of the rear wheel forward in the dropout to the point the tire snugs into the chainstay. I've tried tightening, adjusting, re-tightening, loosening, etc etc. I don't have quick-release skewers, just old school bolt-ons. Any ideas? Please advise!

More torque on those axle nuts

Google sez: chain tugs.

I presumed adding more torque would work, and add torque I did until I bent the washers on the lugs.. Figured that was a good sign to lay off. Tuggnut it is!

They also make wheel alignment and chain tension much easier.
