A front disc brake caliper behind the fork blade generates a powerful force tending to loosen a quick release and pull the wheel out of the fork. A special hub, and a fork with a hole rather than a slot for the axle, are needed to surmount this problem.

For some reason, I never had those problems on disc + QR. I brake aggressively. I ride on city and constantly hit 30 mph on the streets and often had to make full stop in the shortest distance possible from 30 mph. Never had issues losing alignment with such braking treatment.

However, I do tighten my QR quite a bit with two thumbs and then I prevent the QR skewers from opening on its own by zip-tying the ends to the dropout.
