After unsuccessfully trying a good Shimano MTB inner QR, I contacted the shop and got the full refund for the fork. I explained that the wheel moves in dropouts under heavy braking.
They suggest to get a new fork from them after Xmas to try (same model). I might do that, but I just realised the inner side of the dropouts is actually made out of carbon. I originally thought it's a painted alloy, but unfortunately it's the same piece of carbon that makes the fork. Is this the root of the problems? Bad design?
I can't imagine how carbon can possibly have enough friction with the axle to hold the wheel under heavy braking.
