After reading through this and some other material I (might) have started to understand what to look for. I know, at this point, I'm probably starting to overthink it a bit much, it's not as if QR's are failing left and right but, I like to understand and therefor get exactly what I want for every piece of equipment I use
. Would anyone be able to comment on the advantage/difference between, for example, the Extralite Alien 3/4. The 3 appears to utilize a larger clamping surface but, uses a plastic bushing, whereas the 4 uses a smaller clamping surface and a brass bushing. I think I'm leaning towards an external cam design with "high-ish" cam travel and a brass bushing, unless I'm coming to the wrong conclusion.
Also, any opinions or information on the Token shark tail or Zenith skewers? I have not been able to find detailed information on their design, cam travel and bushing material etc. Thanks again for any help.
