Just a question: can you make non QR wheels into QR wheels? I would ride my mixte more if I could change the tires more easily. I guess I could just put a wrench in the saddle bag, huh? It just takes sooooo much more effort, tho. I'm being lazy...

You do have to replace the axle, but also note that QR axles are of larger diameter than non-QR axles, and the frame dropout may have to be spread or filed out to fit the QR axle.
