andreas17777 Posted January 11, 2014 Share The bike shop was building my MTB yesterday and when i went to fetch it, they put a normal skewer on my thru axle back wheel. Is it safe to ride like this? or should i get a thru axle skewer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flowta Posted January 11, 2014 Share First impulse is to say no. Is the frame also a thru-axle? Pics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreas17777 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Yes I have a Swift carbon d-vore, and it is a thru axle frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flowta Posted January 11, 2014 Share Yes I have a Swift carbon d-vore, and it is a thru axle frame. Then they/you must use a thru-axle. Not on for them to use normal QR M L 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NINER_boy Posted January 11, 2014 Share Don't ride like that. You HAVE TO HAVE the thru axle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M L Posted January 11, 2014 Share I wouldn't return my bike to a shop that would put a skewer on, instead of a TA and think it's ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanzyl Posted January 11, 2014 Share The new swift D-vore has the option to be either QR or thru- axle...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droo Posted January 11, 2014 Share The Hub speaks with one voice. This is weird. It speaks the truth though. Also, I'd suggest having a word with the owner of the LBS. He may need to tar and feather one of his mechanics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
