Quick Release Skewers - Complete :)

The quick release skewers are now finished and in use. The final lever profile changed quite a bit from the original. The final profile is much more hand friendly. These will go for black anodising the next time I get some done.

 The final nut profile also changed, the nut is a bit bigger and the profile was machined with a ball nose cutter to give a rounded profile at the bottom of the grip area.

Quick Release Proto

My prototype quick release skewer, a bit rough and ready, the lever design will be tweaked before making a new (hopefully final) set.
 I am happy with the profile of the nut side; it matches the brake cable barrel adjusters I made. I may increase the size slightly on the next version.
