Piedmont Temptation construction questions

[Henderson,Eric]

If a tube got tighter it is either "dirty" or possibly bent a tiny amount. Is one side tighter than the other?

You can try cleaning of any grunge. Also you can clean inside the wing with alcohol on a cotton-ball-on-a-stick.

I have the same problem in a Focus. Started out this year ok. But towards 
the end of the season, it's extremely tight fit.

Any thoughts about what I should look for?

See ya,

Larry
