Here is what people are saying about the Delta Axlerodz Bolt On Bicycle Skewers (1 Pair)
 "Failed to function as intended" | 2007-11-26 |

The first thing you should be aware of is that the packaging on this product states that you should tighten them to 7 N-m (newton-meters). That is 5.2 pound-feet, or "not very tight."
I did not have access to a torque wrench when I first installed these, so I simply installed them at what seemed like a reasonable tightness (fairly tight). Soon after, my rear wheel shifted during a tough climb, causing it to rub the frame. I tried making the skewers tighter, and this worked with some success, but the rear wheel would still shift from time to time.
Eventually I made it over to a bike shop where the mechanic showed me with a torque wrench what 7 N-m felt like (loose). I tried riding like that just for kicks and sure enough the first time I stood on the pedals the rear wheel shifted again. At this point I decided to tighten them back down, ride home, and put my original quick release skewers back on. No such luck - the Axelrod skewer stripped out with a dull "pop," forcing me to borrow another skewer to get home.
I rate this product "unsafe." They are not tight enough at the rated torque and fail at higher torques. |

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. |
