Where can we purchase these qr”s and do they make them for 14mm shafts with a lenth of 7″?

I was first exposed to quick release when we bought Swiss LX folding bikes so I thought all QR’s were like that. Then we sold those bikes and bought hybrids which have QR but they are the “other type” – Im trying to get a set of these for our new bikes.

As Eric LaPointe of Mountain Cycle North America says, “The Battery will finally…I repeat, finally…be here in Oct./Nov. of this year. Although not uber cool to everyone (since the Battery was originally unveiled by old ownership at Interbike 2005)…but very exciting for us at MC…that we will finally bring this Slopestyle creation to market.” [...]

Kovas,

Great post…very comprehensive. When we first heard that the clix would be coming in on the 2008 Trek bikes one of our sales guys was raving about it as he had seen it at Interbike last year but the rest of us were pretty skeptical. When the clix did show up it unfortunately came sans directions. Luckily we were expecting it…after playing around with it for a while it turned out to be a pretty sweet little system. I am sure other guys have had similar experiences. I am looking forward to aftermarket release.

I always cringed when a QR would come through the shop just twisted on like a wing nut. Looks like that won’t be happening any more…

Smith.
