Can Sturmey Archer hub be fitted with QR skewer?
I have a Sturmey Archer 8spd rear hub, is there any way I can use a QR skewer with this? If so, how?

I should probably have mentioned that the bikes' frame has vertical dropouts and I am usnig a Surly singulator for chain tensioning.

hell, you don't even have to drill it out, just remove that pesky shifting stuff, cut the axle a little shorter on both sides, and ram a skewer through it...

Point being, if you want to be able to use the shifting functionality of the hub, no q/r.
