I thought I had read that the wheels fit over the knob and were held in place by weight and friction againt the knob. Is that something in the design that has changed? I thought there was a post asking about mounting them on an angle and you replied that it was fine as long as you didn't have a tendency to "pull up" on the wheels or they would come off.
I can see where having to swap the wheel and the knob could be come bothersome, even if it only takes a short amount of time.

No, this has always been the case. The wheels do not get tightened to the shaft (not necessary) so one needs only to give the set screw a quarter turn, slide off the knob and slide on the wheel. When you want to go back to the knob, just lift the wheel off, slide the knob back on and give the wrench a quarter turn.
It's very simple and fast. Keep in mind that some folks swap entire panels and interfaces just to be able to use a wheel. This small procedure is nothing relative to that approach. ;)
