$12.00 | | Purchased At: | Sids Bikes NYC | | Strengths: | Harder to steal than a Quick release, it's cheap | | Weaknesses: | The skewer rod is made out o cheap metal, so the threads strip very easily. It's cheaply made | | Similar Products Used: | regular QRs | | Bike Setup: | Circa 94 Cannondale Ht. Single Speed - (19 rear, 36 Front) Marzocchi X-fly 100, XT Mavic, Nukeproof, Flite, Michelin Slicks, Ringle ZuZu pedals | | Bottom Line: | This product is an excellent idea, it simplifies bike lock up. Delta however, executed it with the cheapest materials possible. I stripped the rear axle as I was first installing it. It was just beginning to tighten up, so I know I didn't over tighten it. The front one held up a little better. I was able to change flats at least twice before it's threads gave up. I'm gonna give PinHead locking skewers a try instead. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
