The main issue I am running into with a manual lock/unlock is from there is no easy way to access the IWE area from the outside. The hub/bearing/disk/spindle block access to locking ring..To me simplicity is stronger, so a fully locking collar makes sense. I do understand the reason people don't want spinning half shafts.. Even from the back side (not preferable) there is not enough room to go a fork and rod to move locking collar.. The locking collar is encapsulate between IWE and back of the hub.. There is only 1/2" of freespace front to back and 1/8" around the ring.. On another note the diaphragm is very easily torn.. I was able to pull the ring off the IWE without using tools or anything.. The rubber is really flimsy..-Greg (aka squatting dog)</blockquote>
