Okay, this is heresy, but I have a hard time seeing a quick release skewer as having any value except to racers with numb fingers at the top of a mountain. If I lose 30 seconds every time I flat, I'll live with that. The allen wrench I keep in my tool kit is a simpler and lighter way to tighten a skewer than a cam, and I don't need one for every wheel I own. For security, the allen wrench is better, and any of the locking skewers is better yet. Lastly, quick releases have a long handle that legend says could grab objects and cause a wreck.
I've liked the Kore/Onguard locking skewers for some time, and I don't even know what brand the allen key skewers are. I hope these are all still in production. PJW sells Pitlocks, which look like a system similar to Kore/Onguard. On Jan 8, 12:15 pm, "Bill M." <bmenn...@comcast.net> wrote: > The VO skewers look like they might be decent.
