Can this be used on bikes without quick release?

It comes with a quick release axle to replace the one on your bike. It was not too easy to change but it works great now!!

I am using it on a single speed / fixed gear bike with a bolt-on track style rear wheel. The nuts and bolts of the rear axle fit into the cups on the trainer and it seems to work very well. I am not using a skewer.

Generally, yes. I use it with a GMC Denali Pro roadbike, which does not have a quick release lever on the rear wheel. The bolt ends fit into the stand fine and hold well.

No, unfortunately that was something I learned after having purchased the trainer. It comes with a quick release skewer to replace on your wheel and that is how the wheel locks into the trainer.

Depends on the skewer. If you send me a picture of the skewer (both sides) I can give you my best guess. The trainer is pretty tolerant and it works with 3/4 of the skewers I have, including some "non trainer appropriate skewers". The only one that doesn't work is an ultra light skewer by Mavic. A quick release, trainer appropriate skewer is <$10 though so I'd say buying one of those is your best bet.

Yes, it can as they supply the necessary part to use on a bike without quick-release, but I don't know how easy it is to set up as I have quick-release. You may want to contact the supplier.

No, they are not quick release. You can unhook them fairly easy but no, not what I would call a quick release.

I use mine on the handlebars, but I do believe the release rotates. . .not sure if it would be enough. . but there is some.

No quick release at all. (2) screw holes in center of mount for mounting to the frame.

You can use it. However it is not designed to quickly place the bike on and off of it.

Yes, works with quick release on Fuji Nevada 4.0, Specialized Crossroads, and Miyata Terra Runner. Excellent Fenders

That's what the instructions say. My bike's rear real could not be set up with quick release. The trainer fits nicely over the nuts that hold my wheel on. Have been using it this way for 4 months. The bicycle is sturdy on the trainer without the incuded quick release.

You probably could but I think it would feel a bit heavy. I haven't had any mounting uissues...but I always removed the whole unit and bracket rather than using the reputedly vulnerable "quick release" slide. The lever on the bracket only needs about half a turn to get it nice and tight so it just seemed the safer long-term option...and has proven to be so. I figured the plastic become even more brittle/vulnerable in the incessant -20*C temps of a Calgary bike commuting winter (~25 -20*C or lower commutes this year).

Quick-release as in the light is quickly removable is yes. like others have stated that there is a tab just behind the light to remove it from the mounting bracket. the mounting bracket is relatively quick to remove also compared to other mounting brackets.

No, the windshield arms mount permanently with an allen key to the handlebars, not the forks so there is no quick connect/release for these types of windshields.

Of course, yes. I recommend using it with quick release adaptor for more convenience.

No, it needs a quick release plate. But it can't connect to it like normally. You need to buy a bolt to connect it. It's a real hassle to take on and off. You literally have to unscrew the bolt using tools every time you want to put it away. Avoid this jib.

The seating grooves where the bike mates with the trainer is fitted for their quick release that comes with the trainer. I am pretty sure if one has a workshop in their garage can create a similar fit for any bike but I doubt, out the box as what comes with the trainer, that it will work with any bike not equipped with a quick release.

Yes, make sure to tighten the quick release lever clockwise to ensure it is tight before you attach your grip to it.

It's not quick release, which in my situation would be handy and I could more quickly remove the guard in dry weather. In you're case, though, it sounds like it's what you're looking for. If someone really wanted it, though, all they'd need is an allen key and about a minute to remove a couple screws and it's off.

Probably depends on your bike (and width of tires) and how crafty you are when you take the front wheel off and put it by the rear tire/frame. I have big tires (beach cruiser) and there's no chance. I use a thick braided-steel cable in conjunction with this when I'm concerned with the area (I don't have quick release wheels).

Similar to the quick release mechanism on a bike. The rack has a bar upon which your bicycle fork will rest and has a similar tightening device in it that will secure your bike.
