MTB Tip #2 - check your quick release

Disc brakes are pretty much the norm on mountain bikes these days. They do introduce one new quirk that went unrecognized for a while. The torque on the disc unscrews the QR skewer - slowly over several rides. We noticed this first in 2006 & thought the skewers were defective. A quick search in the web (specifically the great Sheldon Brown's site) explained the issue. Fox has lessened (or maybe eliminated this) with their 2007 & 2008 fork design but I recommend you still use caution.

Check your quick release before every ride
