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: :lol:

    you can not get better than Shimano.

    +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.

    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.
