Skewer Ch Quick Release Set

A quick-release skewer is a mechanism for attaching a wheel to a bicycle. It consists of a rod threaded on one end and a lever-operated cam assembly on the other.

Both quick-release skewers and thru-axles are metal rods that keep bicycle wheels in place. Skewers use a camming mechanism to secure the wheel to u-shaped fork dropouts. Thru-axles thread through the wheel hub and circular dropout holes. Thru-axles work better to keep wheels attached to the bike.
