RINGLƒE CAM TWIST MOUNTAIN SKEWERS

 The market has become saturated with all kinds of other
machined quick release while RinglŽe still justifiably out sells
them all. These are the original from which all other machined
from rod or billet skewers have found their success. RinglŽ axle
skewers have become the most popular replacement skewer set,
we have ever sold. They have now become the de facto standard
that all skewer sets are judged by. The reasons are, the
unrealistically high quality they are made to, the simplicity of
design, and the fact that they work so well. Now, the specifics.

 From what we have been able to learn, everything in the skewer
set is machined, though it would be simpler and far less
expensive to cast, or even extrude many of the aluminum parts.
The lever piece is machined aluminum that is drilled through the
lever with three graduating in size holes to reduce weight, and
then bright dipped and anodized. The lever works by building the
rotating cam into the external structure of the lever. The cam
shape forces a lightweight, machined aluminum retention nut into
contact with the fork end/drop-out piece and cinches the skewer.

 The nut is cleanly, machined aluminum with serrations for drop-
out grip and a recessed groove that a rubber O-ring sits in, so you
have excellent finger grip on the nut. The volute springs are made
of round spring steel wire. The piece in the lever that holds and
fastens the threaded rod, (pivot pin) is made of stainless steel.

 The front mountain style skewer weighs 48 grams. The rear
mountain skewer weighs 54 grams. They are available in Black,
Silver, Red, or Blue. Specify color. 

No longer made, we sold these for $36.99

RINGLƒE Ti STIX MOUNTAIN SKEWERS

 The RinglŽe Ti Stix Skewer set is mechanically the same as the
Cam Twist Mountain set, in design and manufacturing, except in
three respects. The threaded rod, joining the lever and the nut, is
made of Titanium. Secondly, the lever itself has been made
lighter, by milling away nearly two thirds of the depth of the
lever in the area of the holes that are drilled through. Thirdly,
there is more than just 4 colors available. The front skewer
weighs 40 grams, the rear skewer weighs 42 grams. The Ti Stix
sets are made in nine colors, Blue, Black, Gold, Green, Grey, 
Lavender, Red, Silver, or Tie-Dye. Made in USA.

No longer made, we sold these for $64.99

RINGLEƒ CAM TWIST ROAD RACING SKEWERS

 The RingleŽ MK-1 Road Racing Skewer set is mechanically the
same as the Cam Twist Mountain set, in design and
manufacturing, except in the area, on the lever, where the holes
exist on the Cam Twist type. Using an external cam design, the
lever hole area, on the MK-1 skewer, is one large, milled out,
oblong hole. They weigh a little less. The front MK-1 skewer
weighs 47 grams, the rear weighs 52 grams. They are available in
Black or Silver anodized aluminum. Made in USA.

No longer made, we sold these for $42.99

RINGLƒE TI STIX ROAD RACING SKEWERS

 The RingleŽ MK-1 Titanium Road Racing Skewer set is
mechanically the same as the MK-1. They weigh a little less,
because there is a Titanium threaded rod that the skewer is built
around. The front MK-1 Titanium skewer weighs 39 grams, the
rear weighs 41 grams. They are available in Black, Lavender, or
Silver anodized aluminum. Made in USA.

No longer made, we sold these for $64.99
