Quick release on track

I realise this is a massive no no.

Is it still a problem with a non quick release skewer in there?

ie; is the problem with the thinness of the skewer opposed to a traditional track axle or because it is quick release?

Thanks

No problem on the front if its an allen key skewer, Im nearly 100% sure its track legal. The thickness of the skewer doesnt matter so much as the axle doesnt need much extra tension to hold it in place

Awesome. Thanks for the advice. I have a road hub built on to the front wheel with an allen skewer, guess maybe that's what I should've said in the first place but you answered my question anyhow.

allen skewer is fine.

the Mavic iO is held in place with allen bolts that are only slightly thicker...

I use allen bolts front and back on the track

I want to run a 120mm spaced track hub with a QR (on/off road and obviously not on the track). I'll be using a closed-cam campag style quick release so I'm pretty sure it'll hold riding singlespeed. My issue is getting hold of a suitable hub.

Is this overpriced new Surly hub my only option?

the On One/planet x track hubs have hollow axles, the one with the cutouts in the flanges, same basic model from All City. I use one for my turbo trainer with a quick release

Miche can have the axles switched to hollow, the bearings rest on a threaded bearing shaft/sleeve which will fit a standard 10mm hollow axle

Suzue pro max sb can be fitted with a hollow 10mm axle but you would need to buy the Surly threaded bearing shaft from Jensonusa, miche dont sell theres seperate. or use Suzue with a hollow 9.5mm 26tpi axle and its own parts

the On One/planet x track hubs have hollow axles, the one with the cutouts in the flanges, same basic model from All City. I use one for my turbo trainer with a quick release.

Would this clamp down enough to the width of a dropout/track-end?

I used an old steel quick release skewer that would have been for 5/6/7speed 120-126mm dropouts. more modern skewers might not have enough threads for 120mm, Im not 100% sure

I guess I could cut down the axle if needed. I'm going to get my hands on one and have a play.

Cheers for the above info.
