Subject: Locking Skewers Question - New Bike
Hi all - I just bought a second hand bike this weekend (2013 Felt F75) and the previous owner replaced the front and back tire quick release system with locking skewers. No key or special tool was provided to me. I'd like to change back to the quick release system. Will my LBS be able to remove the locking system and drop in the quick release? I assume they would have a tool to remove. Or is this an easy enough change to do by myself? Any suggestions?

Depends on what skewers they are. Most of them just tighten with a hex wrench, but a couple have a special tool.

The LBS should be able to get them off easy.

My expectations for the quality of this years’ Triathlon world championship were fulfilled. This was because of the superb location that is like no other along with having the top triathletes present.
