My Bombers take most QR wheels happily. Why most? Well, the wheel I tried today doesn't slot in properly, LH side sits some 1.5mm out of the position. Is it ok to polish the fork dropout so it takes the wheel? It's Z1 SL Doppio with 150mm of travel.

Axle migh be too big...meaning other wheels would sit loose if you removed paint Fromm the fork end?

Before you do something irreversible, check the springs on the QR are the correct way round(narrow end towards the hub)as this can cause similar problems to yours.

The wheel slips nicely on one side but not the other. I turned the wheel around and it's the same, the legs are different. I might ignore it and fit a different (lighter) fork altogether.
