Total BS... guess these folks don't fully understand what QR really means.
Neither of my 22+ year old bikes that DON'T have lawyer lips have ever failed me, and no other bike that I owned before that, ever failed me. Seems to me the problem is not the mechanism... but something else... perhaps the user?
