Philwood is based in San Jose, California.
They are famous for their sealed bearing hubs, and their high precision and durability are second to none. In the US, you'll often see hand-built wheels using Philwood hubs on bikes belonging to messengers, commuters, and tourists who truly understand their value, not just in California, but in many other cities as well.
These are the quick-release skewers that firmly support such Philwood hubs.
While there are many lightweight skewers out there, these seem to ignore that trend entirely, favoring a substantial, heavy-duty feel instead. This is a component you want to be secured with absolute peace of mind. Even if the hubs are a bit out of reach, please consider showing your commitment by at least upgrading to these quick-release skewers.
[Philwood] Quick Release Skewers ¥16,800 (excl. tax)
Back in stock in all colors for both 130mm and 135mm spacing.
With the recent trend toward thru-axles, having a reliable quick-release that can securely lock your wheels in place is a huge comfort for disc road and disc cyclocross riders. I personally use ones that prioritize clamping force on my own cross racer.
Also, for a limited time, we are giving away a keychain to anyone who purchases a set of quick-release skewers, either in-store or through our webshop. Please note that supplies are limited and will be given on a first-come, first-served basis.
