Yeah, I was thinking about doing a QR15 Vanilla, but those are through the roof. This one will prob. take a pounding. It'll accept up to 2.8" front tire. I'm not going to go any bigger than 2.5". Now I gotta go beat the piss out of it.
I'm prob. not gonna spend any more coin on bling. The only reason I have a red stem is b/c I needed a stem. I would eventually like to replace my rear skewer with the bolt-on conversion for the Pro II rear hub. It's pretty slick...allen bolts screw into the axle from the ends.
