I have ridden a fixie for 20 plus years with an old campy nuovo record quick release-I just change out the axle on my rear wheel. I've done it to three wheels so far and have never pulled the wheel out of alignment. I ride in rural areas and don't leave it anywhere that theft is a concern. I've never had luck with bolts, can't seem to get them tight and the wheel aligned easily-with the quick release, no worries, and changing flats is simple.
