Ted,
Thank you for your post. You are a real witness who saw curved Q/R skweres
in track racing. So it was there though a short period of time.
I just could not imagine powerful track racers (PISTA) people need of curved
q/r lever for safey (in case of crash). Like you, powerful racer with 48-15 fixed gear only!
There is a BIG difference betwen PISTA (track racer) and STRADA (road racer) .
As you know, raised pedal hole crank was made till mid 70's. Chain ring i s completely different using 1/8" wide chain rather than 3/32".
Never allow to use alloy bar, rather steel. Fork is round, no use of D/B tubing.
Have never seen PISTA hub with Q/R, 1960 Rome, 64 Tokyo, 68 Mexico Olympics, I do not think they allow to use Q/R in track racing, not enough holding power.
Therefore; they did sell PISTA HUB with q/r but NUT(?), my guess.
What kind of racing need of quick change of wheels? Do not want carry wrenches, do you?
Also, this brings argument between NUT or Q/R. which is stronger to bind wheels in the frame?
