I have a 3 month old set of Manitou Tower pro with 15mm QR Hexlock axle.

When I release the QR, turn it 1/4 turn, it will no longer pull out. Any ideas?

I've got the older ones with the pinch bolts , they need loosening first .
HTH .

Once you've undone the qr, can you loosen the little silver wheel which sits behind the qr (not sure if that actually makes a difference as I've only had mine a week)

Yes, the silver tightening nut still works, I just can't extract the QR. The 1/4 turn should disengage the licking lugs, and it should just slide out. No issues before, but today it won't budge.

Cheesy - no pinch bolts on the hexQR version.

Eventually unscrewed the cap on the non QR side, and punched out the axle. It looks like it was a lack of grease, and the tight tolerances of the Hex Axle just held the axle tight in place.

All greased now, and works fine :-))
