About this product
This is a Salsa Flip Off rear quick release skewer, specifically designed for fat tire bikes, with an item length of 170mm. Constructed from titanium, it offers a lightweight and strong solution for securing the rear wheel. The skewer comes in black and is compatible with Shimano components. It is sold as a single item and is intended as a replacement or upgrade for fat bike rear wheels.
Our take
For fat bike owners, finding specific parts can sometimes be a challenge, so a dedicated titanium skewer like this Salsa Flip Off is a welcome option. The 170mm length is crucial for fat bike rear hubs, and the titanium construction promises both light weight and excellent strength, which is ideal for the stresses fat bikes can endure. The quick release lever makes wheel removal and installation easy. At $19.00, it's a premium price for a single skewer, but considering the titanium material and brand reputation, it's justifiable for an upgrade that could offer greater durability and reliability than a standard steel skewer. Just remember, this is for the rear wheel only.
