Has anyone used this sort of adapter to fit a new wheel onto an older bike with QR?  Wondering if they create a weak point in the system.

I've also found ones like this, which seem like they might be more solid, at the expense of some added weight.

Mavic (and others) used the top type to convert their wheels for years with no issues.

I don't see an issue with them either way.
