QR skewers can handle the brake reaction forces if common sense and a little drop out thought is applied. Common sense in keeping the skewer tight, and the exposed cam types don't provide the clamping pressures that an enclosed cam type can. Drop out thought in changing the drop out slot orientation so on a fork the slot points more forward and less down, This way the axle has a slot side to push against instead of the open slot. Andy
