QR skewer on Goldtec front hub

Posted on
  • The axle is hollow, it looks like it would work...

    Has anyone tried this? Or if not, there must be some glaringly obvious reason why not that I can't see. Please assist before I go and kill mine doing something silly...

  • if the inside diameter of the hub is the same as a regular qr hub then i can't see a problem

  • the bolts add a little but not much more security.
    it's far easier to undo a quick release than to get to both sides of the hub (if locked against something) than a allen key.

  • works fine with skewer

  • Why would you bother? Pitlock?

  • I totally forgot to check this thread. Got distracted with the rest of the bike...

    @skully - yeah I'm considering Pitlock. And in the meanwhile, I have a goldtec with no bolts anyway, but I do have a few QR skewers. I thought it should work, I was just getting a bit worried and wanted reassurance before I killed anything...

    @31trum - yeah that's true, but if its on a QR i'll actually bother to take it off - if i leave it on an allen key there is a much greater chance i'll be too lazy to remove the wheel at all, so bizarrely, it's prob safer with QR

  • I've used another brand of security skewer on goldtecs and it works perfectly fine.

    +1. Ive been using that on the Gazelle for longer than I want to think about. Perfect.
