Period SIMPLEX LJuy Quick Release Skewers
This set of SIMPLEX LJuy quick release skewers belongs to the shifting equipment that defined French lightweight bicycles. The name references Peugeot PX10, Mercier and Gitane builds, along with L'Eroica eligibility. The skewers are the small lever-and-rod mechanism that clamps the wheel into the dropouts. A detailed visual record accompanies the listing.
The photos document the condition of this used set. They are not decorative; they are the primary condition reference for this specific pair. Look at every image before deciding.
What to Match on Your Frame
Quick release skewers must sit correctly in the hub axle and the frame's dropouts. Before ordering, confirm your hub spacing, axle diameter and dropout width. These SIMPLEX LJuy pieces were built for older French road equipment, so they pair more naturally with the kind of small-diameter axles found on period Mafac, Simplex and Maillard wheel hardware.
If you are building a mixed marque machine, keep your hubs consistent. A vintage MAVIC 500 RD hub set uses a different internal diameter than a Simplex-era axle; check your parts before committing the skewers to a wheel change.
Condition and Inventory Note
The listing carries a fixed price of 179, and the stock is a single set. There are no hidden multiples. Each SKU here corresponds to an actual physical set on the shelf, identified by its location code in the title. This one is filed under F08.
For the rest of the cockpit, the Simplex rear derailleur pulls a similar early-Simplex thread. The matching SIMPLEX gear shifters complete the lever-and-cable setup on a Peugeot or Gitane.
FAQ
Which frames do these SIMPLEX LJuy quick release skewers fit?
They are referenced for Peugeot PX10, Mercier and Gitane builds, so they suit older French road equipment with matching small-diameter axles. Check your hub axle and dropout spacing before buying.
What condition are the skewers in?
The photos are the main condition record for this used set. Look at every image carefully, as the listing does not describe hidden damage in words beyond what the pictures show.
Does this set include the hubs or wheels?
No. This listing is for the quick release skewers only. The hubs, wheels, frame and other shifting parts shown for context are not included.
Why is there a code in the product title?
The code at the end of the title is an internal location reference used for inventory management. It identifies which physical set you are getting, not a model number for the skewers.
