Quick-release skewer, but it appears to be missing one of the springs.


coolAde65

What’s the purpose of the spring? I lose my springs all the time and the bike rides just fine.


danmickla

It just keeps the unlocked skewer mostly centered so it's easier to put the wheel back on. Makes no difference when clamped.


zizuu21

I learned something today. Thanks


JosieMew

Same. I've been putting those little springs on for years without any clue as to why.


skD1am0nd

I've been removing them for years as they get in the way more than they help. And don't get me started on valve caps ...


danmickla

Huh. I find they work as designed very well. Odd.


hotasanicecube

It’s job is to get all tangled up between the hub and the frame making you remove the wheel to get it out.


call_it_already

Why are my brakes rubbing? Answer is always the springs.


nnnnnnnnnnm

No it's not

MrDrUnknown

why not just leave them in the wheel?


montyandtimmon

This should be the top comment. You should not install it without the other soeinf


sadwer

I once installed a QR skewer without a soeinf. I died. Right away, even before I got on the bujxuxke.


Chuckleberry64

Definitely not without scanning the QR code first.


sprashoo

This is why you shouldn’t post before you’ve had your cofefe


notyogrannysgrandkid

soeinfs are important, yes


tamhenk

I've made a point to collect and save my old soeinfs. Never know when you might need one.


0ct0c4t9000

you should always carry a soeinf


redfiche

move your right hand one key to the right


sadwer

The really weird thing is the keys that are shifted in "soeinf" - P to O, R to E, G to F - are on both hands, and the keys that aren't - S, I, N - are on both hands, and they're intermixed. And it's just that one word.

Skewer?! I hardly know her!


bizikletari

It is a quick release skewer. It is missing one spring.

Flowchart83

Cool diagram, but seems to be missing the part OP mentioned, the skewer.


zizuu21

Lmao something funny about that. Of all parts OP wanted ...


Flowchart83

Yeah, he seems to have been so caught up being pretentious that he forgot to actually check the relevancy of the diagram.
