• Poking my nose in where it's not wanted but if it somehow came down to QR vs thru axle I hate to say this but thru axle is in every sense better (EXCEPT if you are porting everything over to a new frame and don't want to buy new wheels)

  • (EXCEPT if you are porting everything over to a new frame and don't want to buy new wheels)

    This is the case. The idea is I can take everything off the Triban (including my lovely Arkane wheelset) and bung it straight onto whatever steel equivalent I end up going for.

  • Another niche is something like a budgety tourer with an alfine IGH.
