Forward facing means you can get it hooked on a branch or something and ..... you do that without the front wheel falling off Billy!!  Turn it backwards and you should be OK or at least keep Crooch happy.  Humps

Post by: thecrooch on December 13, 2008, 09:18 PM
it should be turned up or as humps says back towards the forks...  it would be a freak accident but ive seen it happen and its not pretty!

It can`t be turned backwards because of the forks, and if it`s facing down then gravity can`t make it come loose  ???

 :wtf: is that thing ?, think your on the wrong forum bill
Title: Re: Chicksands 14th December 2008 - Man Up....
Post by: thecrooch on December 13, 2008, 11:19 PM
it depends on the the skewer and the forks, i run Salsa ones  and they are shaped to the contour of the forks. 

gravity wont come into it if a rock gets flicked up.... anyone who rides MTB will tell you the same.

trust me on this one fella.
