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.
