PELISSIER quick release wheel skewers PEUGEOT Mercier Gitane

Optimising the clamping force and maintaining structural alignment on period-correct French hubsets requires dedicated hardware. These pre-owned Pelissier quick release wheel skewers deliver the exact mechanical leverage and axial tension needed to secure your wheels safely inside classic dropouts. Ideal for mid-to-late 20th-century French road builds and classic touring bikes.

Authentic French Wheel Retention

Engineered during the golden era of French cycling, these Pelissier skewers feature the classic cam-action lever mechanism that ensures consistent clamping pressure. Unlike modern generic QR skewers, these vintage units respect the correct axle spacing and thread pitch profile typical of vintage French hubs from the 1970s and 1980s.
