Product Overview
One time, a long time ago, a man was in a bicycle race, going over a pass, in the freezing snow. He got a flat tyre. All there was were wing nuts to hold on the wheels back then. His fingers were too cold to loosen them and remove the wheel.
He had to give up the lead because of that, but he had the inspiration to do something about it and invented the wheel quick release. His name was Tulio Campagnolo. It was made of steel and had an internal cam that was protected and impossible to miss align.
The Paul Components is a thoroughly modern take on the traditional internal cam Quick-Release skewer.
Paul's first product in 1989 was a seat post quick release. Then came QR’s for wheels. They had the same internal cam design as Tulio’s. Yes, Paul is a huge fan of the man.
The stainless steel shaft screws into the 7075 aluminium head, which is oval, putting the material where it’s needed and not where it isn’t.
The handles are a stainless steel/aluminium affair for a good balance of ergonomics and weight savings. The nuts have a nice matching O-ring and a thread friction element to keep them in place after the wheels are removed.
All Silver.
100mm/135mm Pair Only.
