In order to fixate the
seatpost and the
wheels, a seatpost clamp and skewers are required.
The levers of quick release skewers and clamps can be opened and closed without additional
tools, which eases the height adjustment
of the
bike seat and the removal of the wheel in case of a defect.
Quick release skewers differ in their axle length.
While
mountainbikes have a 135 mm O.L.D.,
the
road bike rear dropouts are only 130 mm away from each other.
Weight Weenies prefer skewers and clamps like the ones from
tune.
Their innovative constructions and material choice have led to extremely light but yet strong skewers.
