AndreZA Posted February 10, 2009 Share they are the thingies that goes though your axles and clamps your wheels to the frame/fork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwan Kemp Posted February 10, 2009 Share They keep the wheel connected to the bike. It basically holds the wheels in place. The red pointy-up-thingy in the pic that says "Hope" is a skewer. Ask away. We all have to learn... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marco convinced me to buy some when I bought my Zipps. Larneytitanium ones. Nice & light. Probably save me the weight of a sock... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
