• Which mechanics? XC riders don't have mechanics, CX riders swap bikes not wheels (and they have only been allowed discs for a few months anyway) and DH riders don't have QR skewers.

    I've no idea, maybe one of the Q&A things on Velonews? I remember it because I thought it made sense for me since my mtb is single speed and I had it set up with QRs non-driveside out of habit, but after thinking about it, I figured I should run drive side since there is just more room on the drive side given that the discs and calipers are on the left and there is no mech or whatnot at the rear to get in the way. I imagine I'll live out my life without ever having an issue with a hot disc causing a problem changing a wheel, but regardless, on the SS set up, it looks more balanced running QRs driveside.
