QR skewers

slindborg

In tracing a grumble in the rear wheel I discovered that the rear QR skewer is bent at the non cam end

Will 'any old QR' for the rear be ok, or should I take this as a slight chance to bling it up a bit and go for these http://www.on-one.co.uk/i/q/WSPXTISTQR/ ... bon_levers

or simply fit good ole shimano ones like these

I will get front and rear so they match :oops:

+1. Never ending issue with a Mavix QR coming loose. Fished out my old Shimano one from the parts bin and no more trouble. Their nice cam action makes it easier to use too. A tad heavier, but worth it to avoid issues.

Understood.
Now to find somewhere with some sodding stock of shimano stuff

CRC, ebay?

Deore is just as good as XT/XTR and only about 5g heavier each than XT (XTR is about 3-4g lighter than XT each), the non-series ones are steel and pretty heavy though.

Plenty on Ebay, under a tenner both ends.
