Brand New Shimano XT 770/775 Black Mountain Bike Skewer Set 100/135 Front + Rear

Great fit for my Hybrid bike
Bought these as we converted a set of light weight road bike wheels to be used on our Hybrid bike and needed the longer spaced 135mm quick release to hold the wheels in place (original ones were for 130 rear axle). These are high quality Shimano "internal cam" skewers that work great and are strong. Since the hybrid bike does do some light trail duty - keeping the wheels clamped well is a must. Great match to the Shimano wheels/hubs that were used on the hybrid.
Craftsman Ratchet Repair Kit 44783

Parts replacement or full build.
Make sure to get the made in USA kit. All the parts are well made and the main gear has cleaner cuts compared to the China kits. This kit does come with the black oxide direction lever and main cover, neither of which I used since I only needed the main gear. The pawl is also different than my original however i did try fit and function for all parts and they seem to work good. The bearing ball in the QR main gear 1/4” head is smaller than the one on my 1980s 43175. So my 1980s sockets are a little loose when connected. This head design seems to work better with newer craftsman sockets made past the 90s. Overall it's still good. Love being able to keep my vintage USA made ratchets.

Using these for portable battery packs
Often portable battery packs require you to use your own long 3ft+ cables and it gets messy and cumbersome when charging your phone in your pocket or on the go with a battery pack. These cables work well and are of great quality. Each of them include a small velcro strap to allow keeping things nice and tidy when not in use. The only caveat I noticed is that is works and charges well on 1-1.5Amp chargers. I have a few chargers that output 2+Amps and this cable charges slower using those ports than when using 1-1.5Amp chargers. I know this has to do with the cables, as the cables that came with the battery chargers and the phone chargers charge in the 2.0Amp ports just fine. Other review say they stop working, but most of the time they are plugged into a higher Amperage port and charges so slowly, it feels like its not charging at all. I'm testing Anger cables now too, as I wish to get 2.0Amp ports to work.
