Easy to install.Install and then a short test ride then recheck torque to make sure they are still tight (same as your car tires).

Fits my 2005 Giant Rincon just fine. Seems like they’re very solid built high quality. Tad bit on the pricey side but I have no regrets now that I have them in hand. Much safer than QR skewers for sure. Glad to have them.

They are well made and are a great idea for low-risk areas like some suburbs' GO stations or elementary/high schools. I say this because the only anti-theft deterrent is not having a 5mm hex wrench which is essential to any bike multi-tool.I recommend this for young students because if you have quick-release skewers which are more common now on lower range bikes than when I grew up, you can expect some "silly" students to remove a wheel or two and mess around, or try to steal it to be cool, that kind of stuff. They are neither sophisticated enough or willing to put it the effort to actually unbolt a wheel just to screw around.Living in downtown Toronto, I don't think these are secure enough for the insane amount of theft I often see happening around but for the above-mentioned areas I think they would work just fine.

Love it! 69g as advertised. Saved 133g from my original QR's! My only issue is the rear axle sticks out a bit too much on my vintage bike (126mm reat dropout) so I can't mount it on my indoor trainer anymore, but this is not the product's fault.As for anti-theft, it is still easy to remove with a common allen wrench, or even maybe some pliers on the other side. but not AS easy as a quick-release obviously. I mean even my other bike that has solid axles, it's just a matter of having a 15mm wrench to remove the wheels.

The nut pulls thru at 5 NM meaning they will not hold the wheel causing injury or death.

These look great and clean up your bike's look. They have changed the "nut" side to have a much stronger steel insert, but I don't think they updated the torque spec on the packaging. You can definitely put more than what they say, and there's no problem.I've had them on my mountain bike for a few good cross-country rides and they haven't loosened a bit. Probably getting another set for my road bike.Don't buy these thinking you'll thwart determined thieves, though. All you need is a 5mm allen key.

You can use a regular allen key to unlock , so not really theft proof, but enough of a hassle so the thief will go to the next bike

I commute to work daily. I read that the best way to protect my bike from bike theft was a u-lock with a cable to secure the front wheel. After weeks of taking an extra minute to get my cable lock from my backpack, feed it through the front wheel, hook both loops to the u-lock, and make sure loops stay in place while I place the lock on, I decided I didn't need the hassle and extra weight in my backpack.I first considered the lever locks that can only be unlocked when bike is upside down, but I read you can just pry those off. I read some more product reviews of other stuff, but it really came down to what had Prime delivery. So I tried this one out. I like how it is a simple hex 5mm wrench/key with a free spinning top so you can't take pliers to it like all the other unique key locks. On top of that, if you lose their special key that you have to carry around then you are SOL.I love this solution and I understand it ultimately is just a deterrent, but since there's plenty of other bikes here that don't even bother replacing their quick release skewers I know my bike is the least attractive target.

Easy to install, but thin and fragile. I’ve installed it on by vintage bike front wheel, it snap and broke in two pieces when trying to tight the screw. It could had happen while cycling.
A Shopper That Reads Reviews For Toilet Paper

Bought the "Axlerodz" to swap with my quick release skewers on my XS Marin Terra Linda. I first considered the skewers with custom "locks" but they are much more expensive. (The variant this brand produces with the triangle bolt isn't a bad price, but I wouldn't be surprised if there's a tool to beat that.) I don't have expensive high-end wheels so I mostly need to deter, not prevent, theft.Watched a YouTube video to get an idea of what I'm dealing with before doing the installation. It was painless, I left my bike up with the kickstand and made sure not to bump the wheels.They look shiny and well-machined. I haven't noticed any bad effects while riding. If they had a matte black color I would consider picking that up to match my bike.

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.

I was apprehensive about buying these- some negative reviews about them being unsafe and prone to failure, or not fitting. They are a good price so I went ahead and took a chance. I've been wanting to get rid of my quick release skewers for some time. They had some bolt on skewers at a bike shop, but they were around $50. These are great! They are light weight, and were easy to install. I was able to swap them out without having to remove my wheels. Tightening them was no a problem. Just use the proper size Allen key and do not over tighten. I was concerned that they wouldn't be wide enough for my frame- a common complaint about parts in these reviews. If you aren't sure of the size or compatibility of a part- do not buy it! Do your homework first. I have a Specialized Hard Rock mountain bike, and they fit it fine. The only thing is there is an extra bit of bolt thread sticking out of the nuts, I concealed it by adding another small nut or two, but if you have bolt cutters trimming them shouldn't be too hard. I love these skewers! They look much better than the old ones, and I don't have to worry so much about theft. I have lost 2 seat posts and a front wheel to thieves. If you have to lock your bike outside for a long time, get rid of those quick release levers! Sure, you can lock the wheels, but not so easy on seat posts. Having bolt on wheels and seats won't prevent theft alone, but it will deter the casual thief- as they are less likely to have the tools and unbolting parts can take time. It is nice to not have to worry about locking my wheels each time I leave my bike. I am converting my mountain bike into a commuter. So far I have bought a rear rack, a kick stand, and these skewers for it. New tires and fenders are on the way, I am considering a front rack or basket and sets of panniers. Anyway, these skewers are great, and you can hardly beat Amazon's prices for bike parts!
