Just wondering, hoping this isn't a big issue, the edge has worn on the fork drop outs and wasn't sure if it was safe.

    I guess it's not an issue then :P

    Like on these forks, where the QR sits, it's within that lip so it buts up nicely.

    On the Marzocchi bombers I have, that little lip has worn away in places so is almost flat, they are 17 years old so going well but wasn't too sure if it actually did much in terms of holding the QR in the correct place.

    It's fine. The lip is only there to prevent the wheel falling out for stupid people who don't know how to use a QR.
