Is a solid axle and nuts likely to be much (or any) improvement in terms of stiffness over a hollow axle and qr?
I need to rebuild the XT front hub on my mtb with a new cone and bearings and I'm wondering if I should swap to a solid axle while I'm at it. I don't really mind the qr lever v 15mm spanner convenience thing.
