BIKEBOY Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 That's ridiculous. A much simpler fix is to switch the lever on the skewer to the right side of the bike. Stupid waste of money IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rattlesnake Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 Thanks BB. I will try that out first and see if that works. Thanks tesgt350 for posting the information as well. Another reason I like the folks on this list, most are critical thinkers and are creative enough to search for easier answers. Thanks fellas.

ITHERTZ66 Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 If it opens beyond 180 degrees I guess it could also hit a spoke resulting in the same negative ending. Best to have it replaced. It shouldn't come open anyway!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIKEBOY Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 Skewers are designed for ALL wheels (as it relates to staying out of the spokes). With the more common use of disc brakes today, the rotor is much closer to the fork leg and therefore should either have a different design skewer OR simply switch it around to the right hand side......its that simple. Thanks BB. I will try that out first and see if that works. Thanks tesgt350 for posting the information as well. Another reason I like the folks on this list, most are critical thinkers and are creative enough to search for easier answers. Thanks fellas. EDIT- and 66 is spot on...........if the skewer nut is tightened enuf it should NEVER come loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
