Morning Folks,
Hardly the latest carbon technology inquiry yardy yardy yah.....
But I need some new wheel QR levers...
Any better than others.....
Hope worth the extra over AtoZ?
Any help would be much appreciated.
I'm seriously bored just writing this! 😆
The standard answer is XT
shimano are all you need, Deore if your skint, XTR if you have cash to splash.
Coolio.
Any suggestions now as to where from?
Halo Hex Key skewers would be my recommendation 🙂

one of the german mail order sites seemed to be the cheapest, but the classified is really the best bet.
I had Hope, and they were...sh*te.
XT now, ace!
A
Shimano were a popular problem solver in our shop.
Wheels slipping in horizontal drops? Shimano
Front wheel shifting in drops and tyre rubbing the fork crown? Shimano
Shimano all the way!!
However, im liking the look of the new DT stuff where its not cam operated and you can then lock the lever into an out of the way position.
Shimanos ,cured my creaky Patriot problem
Switched from Hope 'self' release to XT here.
Plus when I bought ti skewers they didn't have the right cam on them and Hope refused to replace them. the LBS (Alpine Bikes) sorted me out at the time though.
Pity as I like Hope otherwise.
Shimano are very good (The internal cam is the key)
If you want some more clamping force, the (very pricey) DT swiss RWS is an option. I've heard of people haveing issues with the mechanism skipping, but mines been fine (front only). I was getting paranoid after reading up too much on the Pinder vs. Fox Case
With normal QR hubs/axles you'd need the non thru-bolt ones. The 9mm thru bolt (10mm rear) will only fit hubs deisgned for it (Its the same size as a conventional QR axle)
i use the same salsa ones as i have for years
