Speed Devil Posted November 21, 2008 Share Keeping your skewer greased keeps it from rusting, especially if it is a cheapy. The better quality ones don't rust so easy. I find that vaseline works very well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted November 21, 2008 Share my skewer's not rusty - gets re-greased and screwed all the time. And it clamps on like a mo-fo, no way it's coming loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speed Devil Posted November 21, 2008 Share I would like to ask the same question for the greasing of hub axels. Yay or nay? If your axle has balls bearings then it will need to be greased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
