DT Swiss RWS Aluminum Lever Thru Bolt, This RWS Aluminum Lever Thru Bolt is a simple mounting solution for thru-bolt rear wheels. Where the standard RWS Thru-Bolt uses a carbon-reinforced plastic lever arm you'll get a lever made from machined aluminum here. The weight is exactly the same and you'll perhaps get more durability in the event of a crash with these alloy bits not to mention the appeal of the more sculpted look. RWS stands for Ratchet Wheelmounting System. It has the look of a quick release (minus the springs) but in place of a lever attached to a cam there's a lever attached to a bolt head. Turn the lever clockwise to tighten. When there is sufficient resistance (15nm) stop turning. Press the red button to position the lever in a place where it won't get knocked around. You're done and the benefits are pretty obvious. It provides up to 50% greater clamping force than with a conventional quick release which can be a great thing when riding a disc brake in front as it will resist the twisting forces better. And they make it super easy to pop your wheels off your bike. The oversized shafts are high-strength lightweight 7075 aluminum as are the lever arms. Want it off' Just start turning the lever counter-clockwise to loosen. The DT Swiss RWS Thru Bolt w/ Aluminum Lever is available to fit three hub configurations -- Front 9x100mm Rear 10x135mm Rear 12x142mm (Syntace X-12 type). The weights are as follows: 49g (front 9 x 100) 63g (rear 10 x 135.)
