    please have a look at parktools and find out what the part you are having problems with is called.

    You mean 'axle', are you riding with your cones loose? Is your wheel tight enough in the frame? Take the axle out and check the hub for damage, you might have some hairline cracks where the bearings sit, if so, then you need a new hub or wheel (prob cheaper option).

    do you mean skewer?

    probably over tight. loosen it off.
    Only the meek get pinched. The bold survive.

    come on folks please stop guessing. Might not even be wheel related.
