Axlerodz Bolt On Bicycle Skewers (1 Pair),extra large

I was apprehensive about buying these- some negative reviews about them being unsafe and prone to failure, or not fitting. They are a good price so I went ahead and took a chance. I've been wanting to get rid of my quick release skewers for some time. They had some bolt on skewers at a bike shop, but they were around $50. These are great! They are light weight, and were easy to install. I was able to swap them out without having to remove my wheels. Tightening them was no a problem. Just use the proper size Allen key and do not over tighten. I was concerned that they wouldn't be wide enough for my frame- a common complaint about parts in these reviews. If you aren't sure of the size or compatibility of a part- do not buy it! Do your homework first. I have a Specialized Hard Rock mountain bike, and they fit it fine. The only thing is there is an extra bit of bolt thread sticking out of the nuts, I concealed it by adding another small nut or two, but if you have bolt cutters trimming them shouldn't be too hard. I love these skewers! They look much better than the old ones, and I don't have to worry so much about theft. I have lost 2 seat posts and a front wheel to thieves. If you have to lock your bike outside for a long time, get rid of those quick release levers! Sure, you can lock the wheels, but not so easy on seat posts. Having bolt on wheels and seats won't prevent theft alone, but it will deter the casual thief- as they are less likely to have the tools and unbolting parts can take time. It is nice to not have to worry about locking my wheels each time I leave my bike. I am converting my mountain bike into a commuter. So far I have bought a rear rack, a kick stand, and these skewers for it. New tires and fenders are on the way, I am considering a front rack or basket and sets of panniers. Anyway, these skewers are great, and you can hardly beat Amazon's prices for bike parts!

I commute to work daily. I read that the best way to protect my bike from bike theft was a u-lock with a cable to secure the front wheel. After weeks of taking an extra minute to get my cable lock from my backpack, feed it through the front wheel, hook both loops to the u-lock, and make sure loops stay in place while I place the lock on, I decided I didn't need the hassle and extra weight in my backpack.I first considered the lever locks that can only be unlocked when bike is upside down, but I read you can just pry those off. I read some more product reviews of other stuff, but it really came down to what had Prime delivery. So I tried this one out. I like how it is a simple hex 5mm wrench/key with a free spinning top so you can't take pliers to it like all the other unique key locks. On top of that, if you lose their special key that you have to carry around then you are SOL.I love this solution and I understand it ultimately is just a deterrent, but since there's plenty of other bikes here that don't even bother replacing their quick release skewers I know my bike is the least attractive target.

Bought the "Axlerodz" to swap with my quick release skewers on my XS Marin Terra Linda. I first considered the skewers with custom "locks" but they are much more expensive. (The variant this brand produces with the triangle bolt isn't a bad price, but I wouldn't be surprised if there's a tool to beat that.) I don't have expensive high-end wheels so I mostly need to deter, not prevent, theft.Watched a YouTube video to get an idea of what I'm dealing with before doing the installation. It was painless, I left my bike up with the kickstand and made sure not to bump the wheels.They look shiny and well-machined. I haven't noticed any bad effects while riding. If they had a matte black color I would consider picking that up to match my bike.

These skewers are a very cost effective way to reduce weight and increase security. By trading away "quick release" ability you cut the weight of the cam and lever. By losing a little convenience you'll save 50-80 grams for only about 15 bucks. One of the most favorable weight/cost purchaces made.You also gain a little security. I might dispute the ads claim that it will PREVENT theft, but I think it WILL help lower your odds of trouble. Thieves who eye your wheelsets will look for easier targets than your bike. I have always U locked my frame and cable locked my wheels to the frame and stationary object and I still had two fronts and one rear stolen before I bought these. In the year since, I haven't had any issues yet. (I still use the same precautions).Possible objections to the use of these would be that you cannot change a wheel "on the fly" or that it will slow you down putting the bike onto a cartop bike carrier. For me it is well worth the trade. You can always carry your old QR skewers when weight is not a factor. And the fact that you are slowed down means that any possible thief is also slowed down. Just like a "Club" antitheft steering wheel lock on a car, hopefully the thieve will just go for the easier target, someone else's property.

Bought these for an ebike to give a touch more theft protection. Figured I never ride without a multitool anyway so why not? Was very pleased at the quality, finish and overall look of these. Very streamline, no more quick release handle hanging in the breeze or threatening to catch on other bikes on my trunk rack.Was also happy to find they are actually easier to install than the quick release skewers. No more trial and error getting the tension right like with QR handles, once you have the multi tool out just crank until it is tight. Keeps the other hand free to keep the wheel seated in the drops.Highly recommend.

Fits my 2005 Giant Rincon just fine. Seems like they’re very solid built high quality. Tad bit on the pricey side but I have no regrets now that I have them in hand. Much safer than QR skewers for sure. Glad to have them.

Te sacan de un apuro, la verdad. Si no llevas cómo amarrar las llantas de atrás y necesitas hacer una compra rápida, o quieres pasar a comer, esto es lo adecuado. HE visto cómo gente le vuelan las llantas porque tienen cierres rápidos y les quitan en un dos por tres las llantas. Así que invierte un poco, además se ven muy bien. Llevo con ellas poco más de 5 años y hasta la fecha andan al cien.

Easy to install, but thin and fragile. I’ve installed it on by vintage bike front wheel, it snap and broke in two pieces when trying to tight the screw. It could had happen while cycling.

Cuando me llegaron dudaba si le iban a quedar a mi bicicleta, pero efectivamente le quedaron a la perfección, llevo usándolos casi un mes y no he tenido broncas ni de oxidación, no se aflojan ni tampoco se ve daño alguno o deformación en ellos, me quito un peso de encima (en no traer mas candados) el no tener que estar preocupado por que se vayan a llevar mis llantas con el sistema que traía de liberación rápida. En general muy satisfecho con la compra, ya que en relación de calidad y precio, no encontré nada mejor que estos. Recomendados al 100%.

If a bike thief is determined, a cable around the wheels won't stop them. Neither would this, but that's okay since stopping a sufficiently determined bike thief is basically impossible anyway. What this does stop is an opportunistic bike thief - one who wouldn't be willing to break through the U-lock around the frame, but would happily take the wheels off using their ez-off skewers. Being free from the weight of the cable is nice, even if it marginally lowers the security of my bike.As for the skewers performance, they're totally fine. Not much to comment on there. They don't weight too much, fit nicely, were easy to install, look nice, and haven't given me any problems whatsoever.
