Item received and of the correct length for the front forks fitted to my bike. As with many items advertised on the Tredz website, the information provided was minimal. There was a photo of the packaging but could not be enlarged to read the warnings, so the only way to find out is to purchase the product. The warnings are : "This product is NOT designed for aggressive off-road use". Extreme caution : Wheel skewer use in conjunction with front disc brake and non-safety dropout front forks is STRICTLY PROHIBITED. Really ? I am not aware of any laws which state this or the punishments metred out for non-compliance. Who is checking that such a serious crime is not committed daily ? The tabs on so-called safety dropouts are routinely filed off as are deemed unnecessary. Are bicycle repair shops pointing this out to customers who bring their bicycles in for servicing ? Standardize all wheel hubs, axles and forks to try and reduce the universal confusion associated with the multitude of different sizes and types of wheel fittings. I will be fitting and using the skewer I purchased, but only temporarily and with a high degree of trepidation after reading the warnings that came with it. I am having a bespoke adaptor manufactured in order to fit a 9mm diameter skewer to fit my 9mm dropouts. This will make me feel confident and safer.
