Quick Release

[Adz2332]

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

[Charles89]

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

[Adz2332]

was your works bell brand new? what was it worth if u dont mind me asking

[Charles89]

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

[Adz2332]

damn if i could find one for $270 id have bought it to! damn you was hoping u could point me in the right direction to find another one haha

[Charles89]

Haha, yeah was pretty lucky. It was advertised on a Facebook group for $300 and bargained it down to $270 pick up

If you are ever in Melbourne, you are more than welcome to come try it in person

[Charles89]

As above, not something you want to cheap out on. They're cheaper for a reason. Do it once do it right.

Glad it's tax time because I'm about to snap that up!! Absolute bargain.

Have any of you fellas used the Works quick release lock with this at all?
