@psg1ben QR rear wheels. How rad are you getting ?
The current bike i am rebuilding is a 135mm hub with thru axle into QR drop outs. I also use QR skewer hubs and they are fine for warp factor 5 down Fort William.
Most modern frames have switched to 10-12mm thru axle and wider hub designs as this enables the rear subframe to be a bit stiffer when railing turns at speed. At the Evo's price point and sale price you won't get much choice.
Unless your going racing or riding the bike on it's limits then i wouldn't worry. Still loads of choice on QR wheels and hubs for upgrading later or spares or getting a bolt thru.
