I have not found any special instructions for this -- does anyone have any tips for this kind of dropout: to remove the wheels on my new Gary Fisher, I have to almost completely unscrew/remove the quick-release axles. Apparently this is due to the secondary catch in the dropouts that prevent the wheels from falling off if the quick-release comes loose. But this also makes the quick-release much less quick; I have to readjust the tension every time I remove the wheels.

I have one fork with deeper recesses than any other I have. It's a slight annoyance but still better than messing with my thru-axles so just chalk it up to "that's life." Do you have a Manitou? It's not uncommon with them.

Yes, it is a Manitou fork. It could be worse. I just wondered if there was a trick to remove the wheels without loosening the axle so much.
THanks.

File down the extra "catch" on the fork ends so that they no longer affect the quick release.

those are typically called "lawyer lips". They are there because so many dumba**** couldn't figure out how to tighten up a QR properly and after the lawsuits, the companies added these on.

As stated above, if they bother you, just file them down.

It's actually just a little deeper-than-normal well in each dropout that may be unique to to RST and RST-made forks from Manitou. They aren't the little 'lawyer tabs' like on rigid forks. It's not that big of a deal; you just have to unscrew the skewer nut until you think it's going to fall off the skewer but not quite. Takes a couple extra seconds.

gotcha. I don't have a Manitou, but the poster's description sounds exactly like the lawyer lips on my Rock Shox one and on the fork on my roadbike.

But, as you said, just takes a little extra time. Good thing is you remember to check the tension on the QR on the wheel each and every ride.
