Any help much appreciated. Thanks.
Some bikes have these instead of lawyers lips.No lawyers lips?
I wish all bikes did. It would be quicker to bin them that faff about filing the lawyer lips off.Some bikes have these instead of lawyers lips.
My son's bike has both. I changed the front axle for a quick release for ease of transport, but the lawyer lips make it a pain to remove the wheel. I considered filing them off, but I was concerned what would happen when it comes to sell it on.I wish all bikes did. It would be quicker to bin them that faff about filing the lawyer lips off.
Nothing. No one looks for lawyer lips, they just find them when they discover their quick release isn't quick. Tullio Campagnolo must be spinning in his grave.My son's bike has both.

The issue is that you need to loosen the nut so when it comes to put the wheel back after taking the bike out of the car, you spend five minutes finding the right position for the nut, whereas with mine I just need to redo the quick release. It is a right faff having to readjust the QR every time, and I doubt it adds that much safety.Whats wrong with lawyers Lips? I think they are a good idea, are you removing them to change the wheel quicker in a race?
