The rear facing horizontal track fork ends and QR's don't really work. So it was either get a hex skewer or replace the axle. I chose the latter.
Isn’t hollow axle supposed to be both lighter and more robust?
I wouldn't know about that. But I do know that QR's don't work with track dropouts. And that reminds me I need to replace the front axle and services the bearings. Yet another job.
