Skewers

So,

Why are the QR skewers so important? Just read a review in mtbr which said that some skewers were 'horrendous'... really?

Er..... Maybe it's because they hold your wheels on?

I'd say that was fairly important!

So unless your wheels are falling off every 5 minutes - what seperates a Hope skewer to one found on my girlfriend's Raleigh?

They are both inferior to Shimano

Just wish Shimano would make some seatclamps, some bigger QR's (9 and 10mm) and offered colourful options

a bit more of an informative answer...


Hope skewers are hard to get tight enough and will undo too easily.

find it hard to beat a set of Deore ones. They just work and stay tight due to the cam.

shimano or bolt ups for me.

Shame the shimano ones weigh so much.
