- I recently read somewhere that Phil Wood hubs have a feature in
- which instead of using quick-releases, you can clamp the hubs to
- the dropouts via a allen bolt and washer. I assume the axle is
- threaded on the inside for this arrangement to work. This seems
- like a good way to save some weight (maybe 200 g). Of course,
- you have to carry the appropriate hex key with you in case of
- emergencies.
-
- Does anybody out there have anything like this?
-
- Thanks
