That sounds a lot better than what I've got! But really, despite my posts on this I don't find that it's all that much of a big deal. And there are some things that I really like about thru-axles.

I've got one bike that has disk brakes with just a QR. That's not a great combo because it's very difficult to get the wheel correctly in the dropouts such that there's no disk rub, etc. Worse, the front skewer works itself loose over time so I have to remember to check that periodically.
