QR Skewers cost money. Even basic skewers are over $20.00. If you did not order a set with your wheels you cannot expect to get them. If I order pancakes at McDonalds but no coffee, I do not think I should get coffee anyway. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Googl

As someone who lives in a fairly remote place and thus has to order most things, I can certainly relate to the frustration when something arrives broken, wrong, missing parts, etc. It is almost never a case of running out to a local store to make it right. It involves phone calls and return ship

While i would overall agree that skewers should not be automatically assumed when a wheel is ordered, if they are not then that should be pointed out to avoid situations like this. Now if it's just an honest mistake and they were left out of the box, well we're all human and sometimes things

A hub, rim and spokes are all separate parts which must be sold together in order for Rich to build a wheel and send it to you. A cassette, skewers and tires/tubes are necessary to finish getting that wheel on your bike and riding, but are not an integral part of the wheel build. I would not ass
