Questions & Answers
You have chosen a quick release (skewer) for a wheel hub that is 130mm in diameter. In other words, it is the distance between one end of the bearing cone locknut surface and the other end of the bearing cone locknut surface. This identifies both the inside dimension and the outside dimension between dropouts - You will need to take this measurement. It will be at least 130 mm if there is no difference If so, the skewer you chose is the correct one.
With my Giant TCR, I have about 150 mm between my rear stays. A quick release such as this one works perfectly.
Everything is fine
It's going to be a no as disk brake hubs typically use an axel that is solid through-the-hub. You can use these if you have rim brake hubs that are standard, smaller.
Selected User Reviews For Shimano Ultegra 6800 Rear Quick Release
When I pedaled forcefully on my rebuilt 1980s steel frame bike with forward facing dropouts, I kept slipping the rear wheel forward. Apparently, this is a common problem with old frames with rear wheels that slip forward when pedaling forcefully. The new external cam skewers do not clamp by enough force to lock rear wheels into forward facing dropouts. The older twin skewers clamp with adequate force, but do not lock wheels into dropouts. I got it to work with a school internal cam skewer.
I have an old frame with horizontal drop outs, and the QRs that came with the wheels could not hold the wheel securely enough to prevent it from twisting into the frame, no matter how tight the QRs were. I read about internal cam skewers and decided to give it a try rather than spend 2 or 3 times the amount on Dura Ace or Campy. I like it a lot.
My old skewer was getting a little gritty and worn from all the water and salt. I bought this replacement and it fits perfectly on my 11-speed road bike. This cassette has a shimano gear.
I found this receiver to be significantly better than the stock qr that came with It is easier to operate with sweaty hands as well.
A replacement OEM trainer that fit a bit better than the one that came with the smart trainer was needed. Shimano parts are known to be of high quality, so we chose Shimano instead of unknown brands.
In order to fix the creaking in my bike, I tightened, replaced, kicked, and prayed over all the parts. It seems that the creaky noise has gone away since I replaced the skewer with this one. (I am not 1) Not all of life is a bottom bracket game.
In order to fit the Zipp rear skewer, I needed an extra acorn nut. We thought this ultegra skewer would be a better choice due to its cost. The skewer and nut appear to be of good quality, with a steel skewer and plastic cap.
