I was just wondering how the front hub worked to keep that wheel straight while leaning the bike into a turn.
It's a 20mm axle. It's stiffer than your standard 9mm quick release. The only issue is, you need an allen key to remove your front tire, and if you have a fork mount bike rack, you need an $80 adapter. This axle is fixed to the fork, and you need to remove the brake first to get the wheel off because it slides off instead of down.
