[Closed] qr skewer recommendations for king hubs?

Shimano, they just work properly.

Is there something about king hubs that means they need something special from a skewer?

No.

Shimano, XTR if you want pimp.

Tune if you want light, or those DT RWS jobbies.

I'm rather liking the Crank Bros Split QR at the moment, very easy to use and seem more secure than the Mavic ones they replaced.

XTR on mine 🙂

This is the only time that I shall say this about a bike component, however:

Shimano every time.

I've just stuck a set of the Superstar carbon ones on mine, they've been flawless so far, though lets not rule out the possibility that they'll snap in half and break me like a dropped glass tomorrow...

salsa - end of thread, seriously.

XTR for me. Shimano QR's are a no brainer.

I have the original XTRs in mine.

Simple, silver, beautifully made, work flawlessly and non-bling.

Those superstar ones are Gash IMO

Much as I hate to say it shitmano are the ones with the good reputation. Safety critical component - forget the looks go for the one you know will work

I've used salsa for as long as I can remember. Never had an issue, they've always run smooth and they come in a range of colours (although I've only ever had black or silver).

salsa here.

richcc, hollow bars aren't much weaker than solids, remember this is a pull force rather than a shearing/bending force. I know a guy who used these on the mega last year, or the alloy version rather, and he's done an awful lot of hard riding with them, no problems at all.

i've got... wait for it... shimano XT in mine.

why would you use anything else?
