All I know is that I should get a fine splined hub rather than a coarse one. Opinions, prices, what's the hot ticket?

is there much play in the quick release?

are the ball bearing ones better than the splined one for slop or play?

1) not mine, donno about others.
2) you'd think a bearing version would be better at compensating for wear than splines. i've had mine off maybe a dozen times. if it went on and off a dozen times a weekend in a track (dusty, gritty...) environment maybe there'd be more opportunity for wear, but with reasonable exercise you're not going to experience any, IMO.

BTW - my horn button works just fine. you -do- have to pop the button and disconnect the wire if you're going to use the QD feature. if i were doing more track events where i had it on and off a lot, i might find an alternate horn actuation mechanism. PA requires an operable horn on a street car.

frankly, i've seen enough clueless people in race track paddocks that IMO a horn is a good idea on a track car too.
