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.

Daily recreational riding on very hilly secondary and tertiary roads, using 700x25 tubeless tires. With around 1,000 miles on the wheels, I am totally pleased by the build and performance. I didn't like the "modern" DT Swiss version of the quick-release, but they proved to be just fine. Schwalbe tubeless tires were easily installed with soapy water and a basic floor pump. Removable valve cores made it a cinch to install sealant with an injector. It's DT, so of course the rear hub sounds perfect. I don't anticipate and problems with this product.

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!

The skewers are cheap and lightweight, while at the same time they are very attractive and hold VERY tight.

Bonus points that I can re-position the lever after tightening.

After buying these I can't imagine using anything else.
