Quick Release Pin

[buggi]

Is there any reason why i can't use my quick release pin from my turbo trainer for general riding? Just want to be able to unhook it from the turbo and nip out on it, without faffing around putting the other pin back in, but wasn't sure if it was strong enough etc.

I can only speak for mine Buggi, but the turbo QR stays on the bike all the time. Never bothered changing it back and forth.
I 'assume' its the same for any .

cool, my mate said the same but i just wondered what other people thought. That makes life a lot easier when i decide to ride in at 6.30am. i won't have to faff around now.

I wouldn't - they weigh a whopping 20g more that the Road specific skewers!



ps - I can't be bothered to change mine either - so they stay on.

OMG!! i better not then, no point having a carbon bike and then adding 20g!!! LOL
