"Many of you can probably remember a bike that you sent hurtling through the forest with wheels affixed via that simple fragile locking mechanism"
I remember riding QR's on my old hartail last weekend, in fact. Truth be told, I didn't, and don't, feel that cam style QR's, when used properly, are a liability.
The weak point was the 9mm axle if you're huckin', but otherwise, no worries.
I like the 15mm Maxle, but I feel secure on both.
