| Duration Product Used: | 1 Year |
| Strengths: | Works well, flips on, flips off. |
| Weaknesses: | None that I've seen, does it's job. |
| Similar Products Tried: | Shimano, Salsa |
| Bike Setup: | K2 Zed Team |
| Bottom Line: | I'm not sure what folks are doing to their skewers, but I've never had an issue when one of them's snapped on me. These came stock on a used Marin I bought from an employee at WTB. The frame moved on, but I kept the Speeddisc wheels to use as beater wheels, and they've done the job without a problem. If I had to pay the $40 that someone said they retailed for, I might be a little irked, but if you see a bike that comes with these, I wouldn't write it off, or budget for replacements! |

| FavoriteTrail: | Buttermilk |
| Duration Product Used: | 6 months |
| Price Paid: | $40 |
| Purchased At: | Rowletts |
| Strengths: | Good looking. The long lever allows for more leverage to open and close. |
| Weaknesses: | Not strong enough. I bent mine in about 6 months. |
| Similar Products Tried: | Shimano skewers |
| Bike Setup: | Freeride. |
| Bottom Line: | The product could be a little bit stronger but it is ok. WTB customer service is really good. I called them got the RA# and sent it back and had a new skewer in about a week and a half. So the reveiw is in the middle. Bottom Line: OK product with great customer service |
