It's not a show stopper, but I find it is more work getting the rear wheel back on as compared to a bike with QR skewers. It's just a bit finicky getting everything lined up then threading the skewer through the axle.
As I said, not show stopper, but certainly a bit more work than a bike with QR skewers.
I disagree with that...I find thru axles to be both easier and faster.
No QRs can be finicky.. getting them into the dropouts to begin with, then adjusting them.
Tru axles are simple. Theyre completely out of tge way when you're putting the wheel back on. Then they clamp in with exactly the same force every time.
Also, mine are a bit of a hybrid. Focus TAs just require a quarter turn when theyre in, then you flip the clamp lime you would on a quick release.
