Due soon. <br /><br />As for the QR and to add to the previous comment, if you're riding with your QR open and installed on the non-drive side, you can hurt yourself. Placing the QR on the drive side eliminates this risk for people who do not know how to operate a QR.

I still run my front skewers the "regular" way though. Old habits are hard to break.<br /><br />Also, I recently had the experience where the cable end (on mechanical BB7 disks) got caught in the disk rotor slot, jamming the wheel. Luckily this occurred while the bike was on the workstand rather than me on the bike, but that was something I never anticipated. I cut the cable shorter and bent it outward.
