My main gripe was having the center pulls not opening wide enough to take out the 35mm tires I have on it. This even with a QR on the hanger and another on the lever.
Tangential, but I manage this on centerpulls by popping the yoke off the straddle cable after opening the QR. Plenty of clearance that way!
