I wonder if the QR on my Salsa mtn. bike will end up recalled. I'll have to see how that one works. I think Salsa makes their own skewers, so I'm thinking not. I'm about to sell it, so I really hope a potential recall doesn't happen. I'm selling it in part to finance a 50g. aquarium set-up (and also because I've ridden it like 2-3 times on gravel roads since busting my wrist and it's stupid for a nearly brand-new bike to be collecting dust in the basement) and if I have to wait for a new skewer that will be a serious PITA. But I'd hate to sell it and have a new owner then have to deal with this.Although the recall affects a huge number of bicycles, Trek points out that the recalled skewers, known in the industry as QR11's, are not a Bontrager product but rather a commodity item from a third-party vendor. The part may or may not be branded and appears in various colours and finishes. This likely means that other brands might also be impacted with additional recall notices on the way.
