Is it OK to change my bike axle skewer?
I’m just wondering are these all a pretty standard thing? I just bought a indoor trainer for the upcoming winter and big surprise my quick release doesn’t fit in it, but it came provided with a skewer that does fit. I’ve never had to change one before but it looks pretty simple, just wondering if they’re all basically made of the same quality and if it would be ok to change it and leave it changed (ie. take it out on the road)? I don’t like messing with standard parts much though…
If the skewer that came with the bike doesn’t fit the trainer, you have to use the one that came with the trainer. Sometimes, the lightweight skewers that come with a bike are not up to the added stresses that use on a trainer puts on the bike. Even if they fit, they could break, so you should always use the one designed to work with your trainer. You can ride on the road safely with the trainer skewer, the only possible downside is that it will look a bit different than the front one. But really, it is only a 2 minute job to change it
