I'm looking for real word feedback from anyone who has used these adapters to run a 135mm QR hub on a newer Karate Monkey or Krampus with the "gnot boost" dropouts. Any issues? Any gotchas to be aware of? Thanks!

Ran them on my bruised purple Krampus for a bit. No issues, no concerns.

Only issue is that they tend to fall off when you remove your wheel. If it's been a long time since the wheel has been removed, it's easy to forget they're even there. I had one fall off my wheel on the side of the road in the dark when changing a flat after a 16 hour day of riding into a brutal headwind in New Mexico.

I have run the washers with a KM as a single speed with a QR 27.5+ using Surly older style tugnuts on drive side which I would highly recommend in this case. Sufficient clamping force from 135 QR skewers is too much to ask for IMO. Note the newer style snugnuts don’t work with 135/QR axles. Otherwise washers work better than I was expecting. Saved me money on a wheel set for sure.

I also need to use a tug nut. It's not super solid even with bolt-on. I did make an extra pair of bushings out of aluminum, and they seem to be a bit grippier.
