Both my current and previous road bikes have quick release wheels both front and back, and they're newish models.
- sithadmin 4y agoIf it's a traditional design made in the last couple of decades, you'll probably find that they have 'lawyer lips', which are a common preventative measure to help keep the forks from ejecting the hubs by accident (provided that the quick release skewer is installed tensioned correctly). On higher end bikes, 'thru axle' designs that eliminate this potential failure mode are increasingly popular.
- mathieuh 4y agoYes I have thru axles on my road bike. I much prefer them to QRs because now I can change a tube and put the wheel back in and not have to worry about rubbing brakes.
