I suppose if you don't learn how to use a QR properly a thru-axle might be a better choice.
If the industry changes to thru axle for disc brakes as standard will this impact future sale of the Felt?
So you haven't even bought a bike yet and yet you're already thinking of selling it? I've never bought a bike with resale in mind.
There are plenty of used bikes out there that have obsolete technology on them. Does it impact the resale value? Usually no.
