• Going to have another look at the dropouts on my Hardrock today. I think they'll need need roughed up a bit to give the new QR skewer something to bite in to.
    Any suggestions how to do this? Sand paper will just smoothen them.

  • I'd be surprised if the Shimano skewer didn't just sort the issue.

    If it makes you feel better then use some 60/80 grit paper on the dropouts.

    I had a lightweight skewer which slipped on my chromed dropouts, sent me flying. I bought an Ultegra skewer and it's not moved since. Rock solid. Shimano holds the patent for internal cam QR skewers, so they are simply way better.

  • shimano QRs are great, XTs particularly for price/performance. i found the mavic ones to be pretty good too
