[I suspect I already know the answer to this, but I`ll ask anyway]

When cleaning the bike I noticed that on the nut style end of the rear Q/R skewer the plastic appears to be cracked. I can't think how this happened, unless it has been tightened a little too much when clamped in the turbo trainer ...

Anyway, my question is does this really matter that much ? [it appears to just be a plastic cover anyway].

(It's a Shimano 105 Q/R skewer, as per photo here : http://www.bikeman.com/QR5703.html)
