I can see clear and accurate marks from the axle's serrated surface on the inner side of both droputs, no marks/scratches consistent with the wheel moving around the dropouts.
The serration in my QRs is very subtle, I'm not convinced it creates enough friction to prevent anything from moving. Do I need to get a better QR locking nuts? It is serration on the axle that is doing the job, right, QR's serration should be irrelevant, right?
I can see minor marks on the lawyer lip, maybe the locking nut wasn't sitting flash on the dropouts. Chances of that are slim too my LBS that installed the wheel and the fork know what theybare doing.

Thanks, just wanted to confirm that this chipping doesn't comprise the structural integrity of the fork.
