Quoting Werehatrack :
that the QR is inherently dangerous anyway. A few days ago I looked
at the bikes in three different Wal-Marts while I was trying to find
something else; in one of them, I spotted the fact that four of the
five Mongoose XR200 units on the display rack had their front forks
installed backwards. It was rather obvious. That model has a front
disc brake...and the backwards fork put the caliper ahead of the right
fork tube instead of behind the left one.


I saw Wal Mart had bikes from several manufacturers with front QR on
yesterday's visit, but they mostly seemed to have a little tag attached with
string, presumably saying, paraphrased "this is a dangerous thing if you
don't know what you're doing".
