Halo Hex Key Skewers - Black

You will need a hex key (Allen key) that fits the skewer head. The specific size is typically 5mm, but check your specific hex key set.

The recommended torque setting is 7Nm. Be aware that some packaging may incorrectly state 7 ft/lbs; 7Nm is the correct value.

No, these skewers are not recommended for aggressive off-road use. They are best suited for road cycling, commuting, and general riding.

The 'no-turn tab' is a feature on the end cone designed to prevent the skewer nut from rotating when you tighten or loosen it, ensuring a more secure and consistent fit.

If the 'no-turn tab' cannot operate, there is a 15 x 3mm cone spanner recess cut into the nut that can be used to hold or turn the nut.

They are compatible with standard dropout dimensions: Front (100mm), Rear (130mm), and Rear (135mm), provided the dropout thickness is within the specified limits (6.0mm Front, 9.0mm Rear 130mm, 6.5mm Rear 135mm).

Ensure the 'no-turn tab' is aligned correctly. If it's not operating, use a 15mm cone spanner on the nut recess. Clean threads and apply a light lubricant if necessary.

Re-install the wheel, ensuring the skewer passes fully through the hub. Tighten the hex key to the recommended torque of 7Nm. Check that the frame dropouts are clean and within specified thickness limits.

Clean the affected area with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. For minor oxidation, a mild metal polish might be used sparingly, followed by a clean wipe.
