Yes, I know that an internal cam qr is needed, but thanks for saying in case I didn't. I should have mentioned that in the op.

Sheldon (pbuh) mentions that using the quick release is easier to install but he doesn't explain the technique to get the right tension and centering. Every single speed I have ever worked on either had nuts or had a spring loaded chain tensioner (not fixed) with vertical dropouts.

I'm a little hesitant about buying the qr hubs without knowing the difficulty of getting the proper tension. If it is a problem, I will go with a bolt on (shouldn't that be "nut on"?) but I'd rather have a qr with this bike.
