Product Details

Overview & Technology

Zipp Tangente quick release skewers are a precision road wheel accessory designed for secure wheel retention and clean aesthetics. Available as a pair in stainless-steel or titanium shaft options, the Tangente line gives you a choice between durability and weight savings while preserving a low-profile black finish with Zipp branding. Construction matters: the Tangente skewers use precision-machined shafts and corrosion-resistant components to maintain reliable clamping force over thousands of miles. The skewers are supplied in common road lengths — 100mm front and 130mm rear (also available in a 100/135mm rear variant) — and carry the SRAM model ID HU-SPP-A0 for straightforward compatibility with most quick-release hubs.

Key Features & Real‑World Benefits

Material options: choose stainless-steel for long-term durability and corrosion resistance, or the titanium option for a noticeable weight reduction without sacrificing strength. Both finishes come in matte black with discreet Zipp logos that match modern road wheelsets. The Tangente skewers provide a reliable cam-and-lever action for quick wheel changes on the roadside or in the pits. Riders will appreciate the secure clamping and consistent lever feel — ideal for daily training, club racing, or swapping wheels between bikes. Packaging details: ship size 12.3" x 9" x 4.6", total box weight 2.2 lb.

Fit, Compatibility & Installation

The Tangente quick releases are sized for traditional hollow axle road hubs: 100mm for the front and 130mm (standard road) or 135mm (select rear variant) for the rear. They work with most rim and clincher wheelsets that use standard QR skewers. These are not thru-axle skewers and will not fit frames or hubs designed for threaded or thru-axle systems. Installation is straightforward: slide the skewer through the hub axle, thread on the end nut and adjust clamp tension by turning the nut, then close the lever for a firm, secure fit. Check that the lever rests against the frame or axle dropouts without excessive force — you should feel firm resistance halfway through lever rotation.

Who It's For

The Zipp Tangente skewers are aimed at road cyclists who demand high-quality components with refined finish and dependable performance. Choose stainless-steel if you prioritize longevity and corrosion resistance for year-round riding. Opt for the titanium variant if you chase every gram on race day or want a premium upgrade for lighter builds. They’re also a smart swap for riders upgrading OEM skewers, wheelset builders who want a branded finishing touch, and mechanics who need reliable, repeatable quick-release performance for shop wheel work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Tangente skewers compatible with thru-axle hubs?

No. Tangente skewers are designed for traditional quick-release hollow-axle hubs (100mm front, 130mm rear or 135mm rear variant). They will not fit hubs or frames that require thru-axles or bolt-through systems.

What’s the difference between the stainless-steel and titanium variants?

Stainless-steel skewers prioritize toughness and corrosion resistance, making them low-maintenance for year-round riding. Titanium shafts reduce mass for a lighter setup and are popular with racers and weight-conscious riders, while keeping strong clamping performance.

Will these work with all road wheelsets?

They are compatible with most road wheelsets that use standard quick-release axles sized 100mm front and 130mm rear. Choose the 100/135mm rear variant for wheels or frames that require the slightly wider 135mm spacing.

How do I set the correct tension on the skewer?

Thread the end nut until there’s moderate resistance when closing the lever, then tighten or loosen until the lever requires firm pressure about halfway through its travel. The wheel should be secure with no play, but you should be able to open the lever without extreme force.

Does Zipp ship these skewers with logos and finishes on both variants?

Yes. The Tangente skewers come in black finishes with Zipp logos — stainless-steel versions typically show a silver logo, while the titanium option features a black logo for a tonally matched look.

Can I use Tangente skewers on disc brake road bikes?

Yes — as long as the frame and hub use standard quick-release axles. Disc brakes do not affect skewer compatibility, but ensure your rotor clearance and wheel build are appropriate for your bike.

Buying Guide

When buying quick release skewers, first measure your hub and frame spacing: standard road spacing is 100mm front / 130mm rear; older frames or some wheelsets may require 135mm rear skewers. Decide whether you want the durability and lower cost of stainless-steel or the weight savings of titanium. Also consider lever ergonomics and finish to match your wheelset and bike. Ensure you’re purchasing a quick-release model and not a thru-axle or bolt type; if in doubt, check your hub spec or bring your wheel to a shop.
