85 grams of maniacal gripping power.
Not another featherweight flip flop. These babies have an oversized cam for faster engagement and better gripping than stock skewers. Titanium shaft and alloy hardware keeps the weight low without sacrificing durability. Stainless steel springs too. Hey, no detail is too small. Laser etched ZIPP logo.
Quick release skewers are rods which are threaded at one end, with a cam assembly on the other. This combines to make a lever operated cam system. The quick release mechanism was invented in 1927 by Tullio Campagnolo, who was an Italian bicycle racer. He was frustrated when he needed to repair a flat tyre during a race, the weather had turned cold, and his hands were numb, so he could not operate the wingnuts which retained the wheel. He had been well-placed prior to the puncture, but lost valuable time, so decided to develop a quick release skewer system which enables simple wheel removal in seconds.
