Hazard: The quick release skewers can unexpectedly fail or break when locked in position. When this happens the rider could lose control and fall.
Bicycles and wheels with this part were supplied beginning in November 2005, and a total of about 8,500 defective devices are out there.Please, for your own sake, check it out.
