Quite. Except I usually carry my bikes on a fork rack so bringing wrenches and removing these for transport will end up annoying so I'm debating whether to convert it to a QR.

In 1983 I asked Tom Ritchey to do a custom Annapurna for me. The original paint is a little battered, because it has been a lot of places. Bottom photos taken in Canada's NorthWest Territories.
