Hi all,
I have just bought a new set of wheels which have a 142 x 12 rear hub. I have ordered a 142 chip to swop for my standard QR. Which skewer is everyone using?

Depends.
Did you go for the Shimano or DT Swiss version?

Pretty sure its the shimano version. It hasn't got a threaded end.

I use the shimano one.

I got the Shimano XTR SM-AX75 Axle with my SB66c.
It seems to work OK. It's definitely threaded at the end, though...

Has shimano axel has a threaded nut on it? The chip itself hasn't got a threaded part.

yes, the nut is secured by the chipset.

I ordered my chipset with my frame. It came with a Shimano one. The nut is compliantly held by a grub screw.
