I've been through the exactly same search; I was looking for a less than top-end track hub that could take QR for a commuter. Unfortunately most mid-range hubs are going with cartridge bearings these days, and to avoid the adjustment problems (I've had them too) of the Surly design you need some kind of special axle that has shoulders on the inside of the bearings (this is how the Formula track hubs that are often re-branded do it, and they're great), so just swapping out axles like you would do on a cup and cone hub won't work. Aside from Phil and Paul which offer special QR axles, the high-end hubs which use cup and cone (DA and Campy) could have an axle swap performed.
That's my assessment; if anybody has found another option I'd be glad to hear. Suzue is putting out a cartridge version of the ProMax again, but I don't know what the axle looks like and if it would be swappable. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
