I pulled the left axle this morning and found the hub flange
disconnected from the main part of the hub. Luckily, the break is
tappered, so the wheel didn't come off. I had the hubs and axles
magnafluxed in February. At the time, I wondered how much security
magnafluxing provides. Maybe they crack on one lap and break on the
next. I've already got spares given to me by Bob Kramer (thanks Bob),
so this is not a big deal to fix. However, the experience is a little
scary - like playing Russian roulette. I need to move the Southwick
axles up on the priority list. Thanks to everyone that offered to help
me out on this problem.
