P'raps I be being a bit dim, but the little black wedgey qr blocks , what are they for? Yes I know WHAT they are for, but being a logical thoughtful sort of chap, I got to thinking what if you ran over a drinks can, as you do, and it folds neatly around the tyre, what good is the qr going to be. yes the stays will pop out, but the can will still jam up in the mudguard and still cause an endover, whereas without the qr the says would stay put, and cause said can to be jettisoned, hopefully.

Are they just to appease the 'elf and safety brigade. ?
