word to the wise... if you have quick release front hub and you transport your bike frequently. make sure that you tighten that bitch back up when putting it on. once i just threw the wheel on and tossed the bike in the garage. next time i used it i forgot to tighten. first thing i did was rip a wheeile and the front wheel just kept on going. needless to say i slammed the forks straight into the ground and went face first into pavement.
