I have them on a disc CX bike that has QRs, and they're not getting ground off. I also have them on a Emonda SLR frame, and they're not getting ground off. Why grind up a nice set of light CF forks? I'm not racing, and they do have a legitimate safety function.


People grind them off on principle. "I'm smart enough to check the QRs
before each ride so why should I have to take three more seconds to
remove a wheel when fixing a flat or putting the bike on a fork mount rack?


On principle? Really? I think people who grind them off know what they doing and made a risk assessment for their situation before doing that. They don't need a snotty remark from someone who 'benefit' from lawyer lips.
