this thing is fine in the wind what ever angle... it is the hills that mess me up, it weighs 29lbs without bottles and tools... I had 4 large bottles in the 100 miler.... about an extra 10 lbs !
is it a Raleigh threaded thing, pain in the **** , it'll have to be rethreaded, if you don't want to do it sell it on to some one who does..... shame to let it rot.
