Any suggestions for an efficient quick release binder bolt are appreciated.
Or...am I relegated to using a hex head non-quick release style?
Thanks!
A hex key and a normal bolt probably weigh less, and the key probably fits other bits and is easy to carry (in the patch kit).
And you won't come out of the shop to find your seat gone.
