Another EPIC kickstarter? - Quickcaps

Alternatively, use pitlock skewers. Also available for stem, seatpost etc.

Typical solution to a problem that does not exist.

Undo the quick release and lock it up with the frame and other wheel. Problem soleved

We really are in trouble when a quality inspector in the aerospace industry doesn't know what the unit of force is! 3 years of training and various qualifications and he still doesn't know the basics. Why would you invest your money in this chap's products?

Can someone test them out on the winter roads full of Sal and crud, then give a review please.

Just watched the other vids where they try to remove the nut on the other side and tbh its a poor rushed attempt

I know a thief isn't going to take his time but if they are trying to remove something quickly then gripping the nut properly first will take less time and achieve the required effect

I think the Quickcaps have a place in the market but deffo towards lower end wheels/skewers

Most mid to high end wheels/skewers come with nuts that are slotted to take a spanner or have a nut with a textured surface to allow something to grip, just in case your skewer is seized you can just undo the nut

Maybe quickcaps should be supplied with a button head style skewer nut

Ill have to keep an eye out for some button head skewer nuts as the quickcaps could be used to replace my round town bike's current allen key locking skewer system

It doesn't show any internals in the picture, apart from the picture where it has the tick and cross saying it doesn't work with them

The have also put up a couple of attempts to show that you can't just take the nut off the other side

These don't work with internal cam skewers like Shimano or Campag as the pictures show.

I have had to do that before hence why i asked the question lol

Mind you i do have Gorilla sized hands!!!

Have you tried that on a closed QR?? I've had a few seized QR's in, ended up cutting most of them off

Not being funny but whats to stop someone with a pair of small pliers gripping the other side of the skewer and unscrewing it?

That actually looks quite useful. Nice find
