Q/R opinions
I have always used bolts and do not have experience with Q/R's believe it or not. I am not concerned with ease of theft of components or the slight weight savings of bolts. I was just thinking of buying a few colorful doodads and Q/R's came to mind. So...
What are peoples opinions on:
1) Seat post Q/R's? Do the seat posts tend to slip anymore so than a bolt?
2) Wheel Q/R's?
I would probably get the Hope ones to match other items on my bike.
Thanks

It's easy to tighten a seat skewer enough for the seat not to slip without it being hard to press down. Shouldn't have any trouble there.

I can get it to not slip, but it's a bear to close. It's handy to have since it makes it easy to drop the seat for a more technical section if needed.I've never had a problem with wheel QRs for XC, and when you get a flat on the trail they're fantastic to have.
