In Skewers ... Fatbirds has found 38 Product(s)
A quick release skewer is a mechanism for attaching a wheel to a bicycle. It consists of a rod threaded on one end and with a lever operated cam assembly on the other. The rod is inserted into the hollow axle of the wheel, a nut is threaded on, and the lever is closed to tighten the cam and secure the wheel to the fork (non quick release skewers simply use a nut at either end). Wheels equipped with quick release mechanisms can be removed from the bicycle frame and replaced without using tools by opening and closing the cam lever, thus more quickly than wheels with solid axles and hex nuts. On the negative side, a quick-release hub renders a wheel more vulnerable to theft. Also, care must be taken to ensure that the mechanism is properly tightened.
