Adz2332 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 hey all has anyone tried these quick releases? http://www.ebay.com....=item2a36c2c77f did they last? Much play? how do they go up against other cheaper styles ie D1 , JJR etc Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/444859-quick-release/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles89 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I was just about to buy one of those, but I found a Works Bell quick release for relatively cheap (obviously not cheaper than NRG), and the Works Bell is quality, no play and clicks in every time like the first time. I did a bit of research about NRG vs Works Bell and after reading lots of comments/feedback/posts, I personally wouldn't buy the NRG. But I guess comparing NRG to cheaper quick releases, NRG should be a tad better lol Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/444859-quick-release/#findComment-7321847 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adz2332 Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 was your works bell brand new? what was it worth if u dont mind me asking Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/444859-quick-release/#findComment-7321848 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles89 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Yeah, it was brand new in box because previous owner bought it and didn't use it. I got it for $270, and I can tell you now, the quality of it, is worth every cent. Since I've played with some cheaper quick releases, and the cheaper ones feels really filmsy.... Where as the Works Bell is solid, ZERO play, clicks on, clicks off the same way everytime, very smooth. I think Works Bell has patented the ball locking mechanism and companies like NRG and others just copied it. The way the quick releases are manufactured is different to, don't quite remember from my research but Works is forged and others are casted? But there is a difference in quality. I personally rather pay a tad more for a peace of mind, knowing that my wheel won't be coming off during a corner lol 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/444859-quick-release/#findComment-7321855 Share on other sites More sharing options...
