Question for all you non-QRers out there....

So, initially I never believed anyone who stated that they've had a QR slip on a fixie. I figured 15 years of using multiple QRs emprically proved otherwise. However, theres enough of you here whom I trust enough to be honest (lets face it, there are plenty of storytellers) or intellgent enough to properly activate a QR (lets face it, plenty of people just think they know how) to indicate otherwise.

So, being one of those guys with one bike, and nothing to compare against, It only recently occured to me that not all horizontal drops are serrated. In my neverending quest to figure out why some people have problems, and others never do, I wonder if anyone here has ever experienced 'slipping' QRs with serrated drops?

stevo, my qr slipping experience was on non-serrated drops, which was also the case for other folks i know who had the problem. the serrations must be the key to your success with them.
