This is apparently some sort of proprietary closed-drop out system. Does anyone have any details of how it actually works though? My Google-fu is failing me.

Thanks!

It's like a quick release system except that instead of there being an open drop out where you just slide the wheel in and tighten up the skewer the drop out is closed off at the bottom like a bolt through and the skewer goes through the holes at either end and tightens with an allen bolt to secure it in place with a strange kind of nut that fits into the other side of the fork. Less complicated than I've made it sound .

How much of a faff is it to remove? And is the captive nut threaded for a standard QR?
