Middleburn quick releases

I've had three sets, one still in use (i think) the others are either in a box somewhere or been chucked.

They are pretty crap.
 
Still got the black ones, the purples must have a) gone with a set of wheels or hubs at some point or b) gone in the metal recycling.

Problem with them is the cam travel is tiny. Maybe 1mm or slightly greater, and they don't go over centre either. Think shimano and campag are nearer 2mm of cam travel and they go over centre to improve security.
And there's no bush either, aluminium on aluminium....... ouch.

Did however find about a dozen XT/XTR/D-A/Ultegra skewers of various vintages, a load of miscellaneous (mavic, woodman, hope etc)

Unfortunately, i have no wheels without skewers, anywhere.......

I've a couple of sets that both have delrin bushes. They're really thin though and I can imagine them wearing away very quickly.

Nicely made QR's, but as mentioned the action ain't great.
