What the things that connected to a bicycle's tire are called? |
Giant brand Boulder model Light 4130 model CR-MO type What the metal rod called that goes through a bicycle tire that allow you to tighten it without using any tool to tighten it? It a silver 1in rod and it have a tiny handle for tightening it along with the hub cap to put on the end of it. I need to know that because I going to replaced it. I can't seem to figure it out but according to the bicycle tire frame, it read 26 X 1.5 / 559. Does that mean it a 26in tire or do I have to measure it myself? Mark is right, it's called a 'quick release skewer'. It's quite a bit longer than one inch though, unless you're referring to the lever that you tighten it with. The skewer actually goes through the axle, not the tire. It allows you to remove the whole wheel. The tire is just the rubber part. Why would you want to replace it? Unless some one really cranked on the lever with a tool, it's nearly impossible to break those. You shouldn't use any more than normal hand strength to tighten a quick release. If you've left a mark on your hand that lasts more than a few seconds, you've over tightened it. Mark is also right about the tire. spokes? I think you're refering to the quick release skewer. The tire is 26" x 1.5" and is made to go on a 559mm rim. If you take the wheel to a decent bike shop, they'll be able to help you. |
