I've done 900km with thu axles now and really I don't love them.

They're not 'stiff'.
They're slow to use and catch easily.
Threads can get gritty easily.
Removing and replacing the rear wheel can be a bit tricky (maybe just me - help me do better!).
Getting sufficient clamping force is for sure more effort.

Like threaded BBs, I eagerly await the second coming of QR.

Do you undo them and drop them into the mud? I’m pretty lazy with maintenance and there’s a lot of wheels on/off as I usually ride the bike at lunch at work. Can’t say that other than an occasional wipe clean I’ve had any problem with these or the maxle on my MTB

I try not to.

I remove it ... then look around for somewhere clean enough to place it.
