I've been told that holding the wheel at lock increases the pressure in
the rack and respective hose-ery, potentially hastening failure on the 20v
racks. All is heresay, but it sounds logical that you might have worn
something out :). Also, it's a might bit colder now than anytime else this
year, so maybe it's just the cold.

For fun, come on up Cougar Mountain to my apartment! Yikes.
