I have a self-built first-gen (green) Quickbeam with the Riv approved Suzue rear hub and a Nashbar flip-flop that came with long axles and nuts, that I cut down and made a quickrelease. Both hubs have been bombproof, both have been run as fixed and free. I never messed with the dropout (dropin?) paint. I tighten my quickrelease until it starts to snug with the lever perpendicular to the frame, then pull it parallel to the frame. I do not use much backpedal braking pressure as brakes are a better tool than legs in my opinion.
