Is this true with all hubs using these kind of fittings or just the home converted ones?
I reread that when checking that I was linking the right thread, and now I'm in two minds about it. I've had no issues in terms of thread reliability with 6Nm on M6 screws in Shimano hollow axles, which puts the clamping force in much the same region as a good closed cam QR. While neither can be considered properly safe with disc brakes (only a through axle is), there's not a big enough difference to conclusively commend one over the other as a stop gap while you save up for a safe fork.
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering: ![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png) That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
> Quote text by starting lines with >
Mention another user by @username
For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:
```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
