FAQs
Is this compatible with non-Shimano hubs?
This part is specifically engineered for the FH-UR600 hub series. While it may physically fit other hubs, performance cannot be guaranteed.
Does this package include springs?
Yes, it is a complete assembly and includes all necessary components including springs and the end nut.
What is the difference between this and the 168 mm version?
The 168 mm version (MPN: Y3J798010) is designed for different frame/hub spacing requirements. You must use the 173 mm version if your bike requires that specific reach.
Can I use this for thru-axle conversions?
No, this is a quick release assembly and is not compatible with thru-axle systems.
How often should I service the quick release?
It should be inspected during every standard tune-up. Clean the threads and lightly lubricate the cam mechanism as needed.
Troubleshooting
Lever is too difficult to close
The end nut is tightened too far; back off the end nut by one or two turns and try closing the lever again.
Wheel feels loose after tightening
The end nut is too loose; open the lever, tighten the end nut, and re-clamp until the lever leaves an impression on your palm.
Lever opens during riding
Ensure the lever is fully in the 'CLOSED' position and positioned so it does not snag on trail debris or clothing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, slide the skewer through the hub axle until the cam lever is on the non-drive side of the bike. Ensure the conical springs are positioned with the narrow ends facing inward toward the hub. Thread the end nut on by hand until it makes light contact with the dropout. Open the lever, tighten the end nut slightly more, and then flip the lever to the closed position.
Compatibility Note: This specific part is designed for the FH-UR600 hub. Always verify your current skewer length (173 mm) before installation.
Care: Periodically apply a light coating of bicycle grease to the cam mechanism to maintain smooth operation. Keep the threads clean of grit and dirt to ensure the nut does not seize over time.
