1. Get the Dura Ace (preferred) or Ultegra quick release. Don't guess with the others.
2. I now take the extra step and mark the stay around the QR nut/clamp. I then use a grinder to remove some metal behind this mark so that the QR sits a little lower and doesn't ride up over the ridge. It works but takes time to do. I used to make clips that went over the QR axle (hole in clip) and were bent so they went over the rear of the drop out stopping the wheel move forward.
Sorry, I somehow missed this excellent advice. Thank you.
I have the Dura Ace ones on the 2014 bike, and the Ultegra ones on another bike. The difference ($20 vs. $50) appears to be primarily that there are no plastic parts on the Dura Ace. They have been absolutely solid on my other bike, and completely solved my (minor) problem of the wheel moving very slightly in my Enve CX disc gen 1 fork.
If you still have one of those clips you made, could you post a picture, please?
Many thanks!
