Testing: DT Swiss RWS skewer

No more quick releases with cams for this rider. EVER! DT Swiss has a very cool ratcheting skewer that eliminates the need to apply torque through a lever to clamp with their "Ratchet Wheelmounting System" (RWS). Test rode it for about 11 miles and it seems to be a winner. =)

Cons: Getting the wheel off is more painful than a standard QR. Lever seems to be a bit flimsy. Feels more like cheap ABS than "carbon fiber reinforced material". Over twisting could cause damage to the dropout especially if it's carbon. A bit pricey.
