I think that exposes the serious issues around care and maintenance with direct to consumer bikes (and other transport products in general).
Without a highly diligent maintenance routine what was a ‘safe’ product becomes a very dangerous thing indeed in certain situations.

Not the best idea but happens a lot and, ime, mostly doesn't result in ejecto-wheel due to braking

My Kinesis 4S Disc was QR with disc brakes and it finished at least a TransAm and TCR with no issues (at least none related to that combination of parts).
