🔩 DT Swiss MTB Front Steel Hub Skewer DT RWS, 100mm - Enhanced for SEO Review

Mother jumped off. Dangerous product. It's very easy to overdrive. Due to the small size of the thread (it's aluminum), it's better to work with a steel nut.

If you use traditional skewers, even expensive ones, ditch them and buy a set of these DT Swiss RWS skewers. All the power of a TA clamp but the simplicity of skewers to keep everything in one place. Nobody needs these brackets! If your bike is suffering from loose skewers, this is the solution.

Whilst the quality of these DT Swiss parts is undeniable, unfortunately I ordered the wrong size for my bike. The typical DT Swiss RWS size for front wheels is 5mm x 100mm. If you have a larger thru-bolt hub (no springs) the standard size is usually 10mm x 100mm. They have much thicker bolts and are more common on mountain bikes.
