Thanks

Bolt through by a country mile

With ordinary dropouts? And hubs that can’t be converted? Is that possible?

As far as something comparable with a qr frame/fork, then yes. DT Swiss RWS. 9mm system that still fits regular qr drop outs. You need to swap your wheel end caps to suit though if even available for your wheels.
Otherwise, there are other qr’s available but as long as you don’t have a defective or recalled skewer then they all do much the same job. Crankbros split qr for a good looking solution 😉

on standard QR hubs, no

Errrr yes, SALSA end of unless swapping end adaptors by removing end caps and going 10mm bolted axle on rear/RWS skewers.

Rubbish. Shimano ones are far better – and better than anything else.

Many years ago I tested a whole bunch of skewers when there was the worry about QRs and disc brakes – Shimano were the best I tested. Enclosed cams that didn’t get full of muck, a proper past-centre lock, and decent deep serrations.

shimano are great but I’ve never has an issue with hope either (run one on the back end of my FS) but I know others dislike them. I have halo porkies on my HT and and prior to that they were on my rigid SS, they’re heavy but about as stiff as I’ve encountered for a 9mm qr.

I’ve got a Hope rear on my ht and wouldn’t recommend it, much prefer Shimano QR.

@ aracer – only peasants say that. lol

For me – DT Swiss RWS bolt-throughs, for regular drop-outs. But I’m a bit of a poser. If I wasn’t – it’d be Shimano XT.

DTS RWS Thru. Better still if the hub can take a through axle size version. Still screws up to a nut rather than bolts into the frame, but I much prefer the lever on them to the cam lever of a traditional skewer, and when done up they stay done up, in my experience.

Unlike mine that still come lose on every ride. As per my post about my C456 grrrrrrrrr.

Is there anything better than Shimano skewers?

Ferrari F40?

@ aracer – only peasants say that. lol

Dura-Ace ones are about 70 quid

I use allen key skewers as they are lighter and don’t have ugly levers sticking out. Obviously you need an allen key to take the wheel out but I only take the wheels out at home anyway.

No, Salsa skewers are just really overrated. Lol. Shimano are vastly better unless you want something light, in which case Mt Zoom are excellent. Lol
