We're on a small vacation and I'm doing a lot of riding around the Carmel/Montrey Bay area of California. Tonight I suddenly find I'm unable to tighten my front skewer any longer, it simply resists taking a good bite in the dropout no matter what I do. I never had this happen before, but that part is probably really old.

No more riding ahead this trip, but just curious. I'll swap it out when I get home.

Thanks for your answers,
