Almost a century after the invention of the quick release wheel skewer by Tullio Campagnolo, a new system will soon be available that instantly locks bike wheels to the fork on installation.

Invented by Montague Inventive Technologies (a company known for their full size, performance mountain bikes that fold), the CLIX??? attaches and releases bicycle wheels safely, quickly and free of guesswork. Unlike the standard, two-sided quick-release system by Campagnolo that requires adjustment on both sides of the skewer to lock, the CLIX??? releases from the frame with a strong push on one side of the hub. When attaching a wheel to the bike frame, the CLIX??? makes a "click" to signal that the wheel is securely in place. Even if a user forgets to lock the CLIX??? skewer into the closed position, the wheel will not fall off.

The CLIX??? received great reviews from Bicycle Retailer, Bike Europe and at Interbike. Also, Pacific Cycle Inc. is installing CLIX??? skewers onto many of their Mongoose bikes for 2008.
