  • Brand X with the lever is my current favoured budget option. It also has a large 8mm on the thread size so 3 options to remove. I don't like their non lever ones though.

    @hippy combination of failure to grease, soft aluminium and heavy washing. The Tripster axles are actually good but haven't been able to find them in MTB sizes. Rondo & Xfusion axles are also particularly bad designs.

  • I swapped out the Tripster lever axles for allen-key ones because I didn't like their clamping force so would just use the QR lever to turn them tight, which then had every man and his dog telling me my skewers were loose.

    I will make a note to re-grease them.
