I don't really understand the dropouts on my Straggler. They're an odd design, like this: https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fsurlybikes.com%2Fblog%2Fstraggler_dropout_update&psig=AOvVaw1WcGBjVu5C9KdNFBaQql7G&ust=1587046149410000&source=images&cd=vfe&ved=0CAIQjRxqFwoTCIDwqOHN6ugCFQAAAAAdAAAAABAD
Feels like the axle could slip out if the QR was to come loose? Doesn't feel particularly safe and I don't really get the benefit of them being machined like that (I'm a bit of an idiot so there could be a good and legit reason).
