Too much bumping and grinding on the track. Use bolted axles. Easy to
swap 'em.

Not hard to change and if the track is managed at all, they will not allow QR
on wheels.

As a safety precaution, quick-release skewers) are generally
proscribed by rule from track racing. Current USCF rules allow
exception for non-championship individual pursuit and timetrial
events.

> are they hard to change ?

This will vary depending upon the model and maker of the hub. You'll
need to provide those particulars to answer your question.

I though an axel was a maneuver performed by a figure skater.

My bikes and trikes have axles.

Oh great! Let's get out there and encourage the illiterati to emulate
our nucular government and all its bad manners and lack of edjumacation.
For who the bell tolls! as they now say in the USA.

A test, right Mr Brandt ?? While anodizing aluminum alloys on rims may be
heresy to you, undermining the proper case of pronouns following
prepositions, and abominating the reflective context of John Donne's phrase
tweaks my spokes !

Happy Easter.

Oops. Seems Jobst thinks the Bush government is to blame for any
education ills in the US. Think he knows that Bush has dramatically
increased spending for education, and that he's instituted the only
realistic method for improving public education in decades?

Probably not.

Good grief. What planet are the Bushites living on, anyway? The Bush
education "plan" has damaged education in Minnesota drastically, to
the point that the state is debating opting out and foregoing all
federal monies for education because the Bush plan is another unfunded
federal mandate and costs us more than it provides. "No child left
behind" apparently only applies to the children of the suburbs and
denies adequate funding (yet again) for special education.

It's always hilarious to see Republican plans like this that violate
their own professed values. "Local control" and "states' rights" was
the cry of the Republicans just a few short years ago, but now we see
the true colors of the conservatives in power: fascism creeping under
the cover of "moral values." The Bush administration, with the help
of its cronies in the Legistative and Judicial branches, is creating
themost intrusive and draconian government in the history of the
United States and yoking the population into servitude for decades to
come by destroying any semblence of rationality in fiscal policy.

One score and four years ago, our fathers brought forth on this
continent a revised nation, conceived in profitability and dedicated
to the proposition that all wealth should rise upwards. We are now
engaged in great social engineering, testing whether any nation so
conceived and so dedicated can be permanently mired in conservative
ideology. The world will little note what we do under cover of
secrecy, but it will not be able to stop what we set in motion. For
the government of the people, by the people, for the people shall be
replaced by a conservative autocracy that holds itself above
accountability to the people. Welcome to the American Taliban.

Well, Mark, actually Jobst was talking about the administration's own
misuse of the language -- by the head of that administration.

Well, I don't know that, either. If you will check, you will see that
most of the "no child left..." program is not funded by the federal
government. It is mandated by them (and the Republicans used to rail
against unfunded mandates!), but the funding is mostly left up to the
states.

It is also highly questionable whether it will improve education at all.
Taking more tests, which is the usual effect of the program, is not more
education, but less. Teaching to the test, which is the local school
districts' usual response, is not better education, but worse.
