I remove the lower bolt on my Krampus and loosen the top one but leave it in place. I don't have any experience with a non-Rohloff setup on these bikes to compare against, but moving the brake is normal for us.Neilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00036856726330755400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3409974780498389429.post-54209867591116169822014-05-20T06:06:30.261-07:002014-05-20T06:06:30.261-07:00Neil,

Do you have to remove the rear caliper (i.e. Monkey Bone) every time you remove or install the wheel? I can't seem to simultaneously align the axle plate with the Monkey Bone and my threaded axle with the drops. <br /><br />This hasn't been a problem in the past with Surly's track-style drops so it's entirely possible I'm missing something. <br /><br />ThanksGreg Muhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11970772509459119526noreply@blogger.com
