Doesn't look like it locks in any meaningful way, just seems like a collar you twist around.

Scares the crap out of me.

I would want to be convinced that was safe to use - I doubt if it would pass IVA and you don't even need a key to release it.

Eeek! So you press a button and the twist the wheel to take it off. Given that 'twisting the wheel' is what you do all the time when driving, do you have that much faith in that button never having dirt in it, getting sticky and being fully seated every time you drive?

I dont think i would ever by happy with a QR wheel, but if for some reason it was the only option and i managed to talk myself into it being safe at all (not just in general, but in my hands, on a car used daily and for short trips etc) I would be after just about the best I could find. Certainly something from a reputable company, with years of history in the manufacture of such parts, and strong customer support and history.

One of the very few parts i would be prepaired to pay 'race part' prices for.

This slip in translaton in the description sums it up:

SELF LOCKING HASSLE cheap MECHANISM

Looking at his feedback it would appear some of what he's selling is fake....
