I'm going to get a cheapish REI tent like Hugh's. And maybe a chair, like

Checkout the Handspun Pavement series and BM Cyo series.

They do not even sell skewers either, like if you buy a Phil hub, which is

I currently have a Shimano dynohub and an Edelux 1.
My Edelux is rack mounted, but there are lots of brackets out there to allow
fork mounting, fender mounting, etc. If your fork has any tapped holes for a
rack, that's a good place to start.
Now, the Edelux was a splurge. I was rebuilding

I have bought wheels from Rich, Peter White, an excellent local builder,
and a couple resales over the years.
If the hubs in question are not sold with skewers, the wheels do not come

excepted) that skewers are an extra

Sorry about that frustrating lack of quick-releases. I don't know the
