DT Swiss

I have never liked using the standard quick release skewer - when installing the wheel, either it is not tight enough or too tight.....no problem just a hassle to get it correct. Infrequently, I have had my front wheel skewer start to loosen after many miles of riding. One of my other bikes has a thru axle front fork, which is very secure. While. shopping for a new QR skewer, I stumbled upon the DT Swiss RWS skewer.....a perfect solution. Very secure, and quicker and easier to correctly tighten. My front wheel is now as secure with the DT Swiss skewer as it would be with a thru axle bolt.

As Adaptors go, I find this brand to be a good one. It matches my DT Swiss hubs exactly, with none of the mixed off-brand mish mash that I find so dreadful to have to tolerate looking at. This esthetic gives me ultimate confidence that when I grab a handful of brake, my bike's forward momentum will be reduced in a most pleasing, eye-appealing way. Safety too, is enhanced using products designed to be an integral, cohesive unit.

I bought these for my Ridley CX bike. The skewers that came with my original wheelset, and the race wheels I use, constantly had the skewers loosening up during a training ride, or worse, during a race. These skewers allow you to keep tightening the skewer until you are happy with its force, and then you can simply push in the end and rotate the lever out of the way. Stays tight!

I have a DT Swiss through axle on my DH bike and wanted the 1355 version for my 29er hardtail, since I like the ease of use and re-positioning of the DT Swiss system very much.

This skewer is well worth its money and provides a very secure mount of the wheel.

The ratchet re-positioning is perfect to get it right every time!
