Review on 🚲 DT Swiss Quick Release RWS MTB Titan Alu Lever 135mm: Enhanced Performance and Lightweight Design by Kenny Hrdlicka

I've never been comfortable with the lever-lock skewers that come with 95% of all bikes. I never know how hard it is to tighten them. These DT Swiss skewers pull (and loosen) like a regular screw, twist and loosen. They have a ratchet, but not for tightening; It allows you to turn the knob without tightening (or loosening) the wheel. Let's say the skewer's handle won't clear the fork and hits before it's tightened enough. You pull the handle out and it can rotate back to give you another twist as you tighten. This sounds more confusing than it is, if this is your first time using any of these you will understand. Don't forget to check the length of the skewers you need, the front wheels are the same, but road bikes and cross bikes use a narrower rear skewer (if they don't have disc brakes) than mountain bikes. Ride your bike!
