Ringle Holey Skewers - Reproduction

[mzagorski]

I figured I'd throw this out there... I'm having some Ringle Holey Skewers machined. Same dimensions as the originals (the Ti Stix version with more material removed from the inside face). If I can get a show of hands for serious interest on here I can provide pricing information (More quantity = lower the price will be). I will have skewer levers, nuts, and washers (Only wheels for now, but I could possibly also do seatpost nuts and washers). They will come in raw machined aluminum so you can have them anodized as your favorite anodizer (I know there are a few on here).

Anyway, let me know if you're interest and how many, and any comments / questions.

Thanks

Re:

How can you guarantee the quality of the materials and construction is as good as the originals for sensible money ? It's a critical part if it fails at the wrong time

Re:

They will be manufactured by a reputable company (local to me) who do quality work. Material will be 6061 aluminium.

So the actual skewers won't be included?

Re:

Correct, no "skewers" or springs. Basically, I've seen people out there with older skewers pretty well beaten up... There's a thread on here on restoring skewers and one point noted is that no one is making the levers (so look after 'em). I figured I'd make the levers available. If no one wants them, no biggie... Just thought I'd throw this out there.

Re:

Like these, I had them made up some time ago, all sold now but took ages to drift off but I was pleased to help salvage all those incomplete Ringle QRs out there!

I've no plans to get any more made and no-one has asked for any for a long time but maybe there will be some new demand, good luck.

I would be interested if you made and anodized full skewer sets, but I'd imagine that would be pretty expensive.

Re:

Yeah I'd be interested to know what the cost for front and back would be. I had a set in silver bitd and never found a decent pair.

Re:

I would like some parts if you make them to build into skewers please

It's about time someone copied these. I'll probably take a couple of sets.

If you need help with CAD, machining and anodising, PM me.
