Right now, I have a standard Quick Release rear hub, and I'm thinking about getting a nutted axle with my new Sun Single Track rear wheel. I have a Trek Bruiser 2, does it matter if I do this? I've only seen nutted axles on bikes with horizontal dropouts, would I be able to do it with my Verticle dropouts?
