1. thanks it helped me alot
2. Question. I don't have a QR but want on rear. Can I install/replace the non-QR with a QR? If so, any gotchas?
3. Simple and not too fast, great for learning the basics.
4. help!! there are all these videos about installing quick release skewers, but I have no idea what size I need for my bike ;(
5. Thank you.
6. The actual centre threaded bolt but is short. I had to ask a friend to squeeze the forks inwards so I could get the wheel on. Is this right?
7. does the lever have to be on the disc side?
8. thanks xd
9. Just what I needed, thank you!
10. When I went to reinstall my wheel my brake pads were stuck together and I don't know how to get them apart so I can fit the disc into the brake. If anyone could help me that would be great... Thanks
11. I have lost both the springs. Do I need them?
12. brilliant
13. Thank you!!! 
14. It still looks like the fork will smush the springs that are caught between the fork cutout and the axle!  I'm reading here that the springs aren't essential but I want to do things right.  Smushing the springs doesn't seem right.  
    
    Does everyone just not care about smushing the spring?  Why not?  The springs are there for a reason so why smush them?  
    
    Puzzled.
15. my quick release is slightly different on my mountain bike. I have to slot the wheel into the drop outs and then put the lever through the drop out post and wheel at the time.

17. +turbotonic27 the fork sits on the axle, not on the skewer or spring. The best way to see how it works is to remove the skewer all together and then you can see where it sits. Cheers
18. Hi Craig, you would need a new axle and possibly hub too. Probably the best bet would be to buy a new wheel unfortunately.
