    Strengths:    Light weight. Cool looking and easy to use. Color choice.

    Weaknesses:    Not sure if I would use them on a mountain bike... Would prefer stainless rod up front. I'm using it on my roadbike, a Spec. Ruby Expert.

    Bottom Line:   
    I guess if you have a rigid MTB it's ok, but I would still prefer stainless up front. It closes and opens by unscrewing and it's easy to do and fast. So much easier than a traditional QR as I have carpal tunnel and pressing in with my hand is painful. However, I keep thinking that it would be easy for something like a trailside branch to spin them loose. Maybe I'm worrying too much. On the road bike they are awesome and don't cost an arm and a leg considering how light they are. On the MTB I use Salsa stainless.

    Strengths:    Light, easy to use, looks

    Weaknesses:    None so far

    Bottom Line:   
    Excellent skewers, really light and easy to use. No need to fiddle with a cam then wind them off until you can get them past the dropouts, it's just one easy move - unwind the lever then twiddle the other end until it fits past the dropout.
    Great design and well made - in England!

    This is USE's quick release skewer. They claim 55g for their Ti non-bolt-on version. I think that the USE guys aren't big-fat-liars on weights, typically. You can see it at [url]ww   Read More »
