I may have won today's battle against the solid steel axle of my rear hub, but it won the war. After all, I had to carry it and the bike home.
I'm not sure how it happened. I was just headed out on my ride, and my tire started rubbing on the chainstay. I thought that I needed to adjust the chain tension but saw the part of the axle wiggling like Jello in my dropouts.
Actually, I'm really lucky; this could have caused a lot of hurt under different circumstances. I'll put in a new axle, but it makes me nervous...
Ride safely and happy trails.
