Oh, good point. The hub he listed isn't a thru-bolt type.



And he said it looks like the regular QR skewer without the cam lever... that does sound a lot more like anti-theft skewers.

On another note - the reason thru-bolt became common on disc brake wheels is because of
1. Disc brake front wheel ejection, https://bikemagic.com/news/wheel-eje...igh-court.html and
2. Open skewer jamming in disc brake. Our Angle on the Trek Quick-Release Recall

So he'd be increasing some risk by putting on a QR skewer.
