I had no problems with it so far. Just works. The red handles are a little ugly but they do a good job. I switch between the QRD-W01 (touring) and the QRD-C098 (city) regulary.

I’ve been using Wellgo QRD for about 2 years, and haven’t encountered any issues. It’s lighter than MKS, and offers more pedal styles.

I’ve been using the Wellgo QRD system with clipless and ordinary pedals on my Montague/Swissbike Paratrooper (foldable MTB) for a few months time now.

So far, no problems at all 🙂

Got Wellgo QRD-W01 yesterday. They have longer axle than shimano. Got used to it after 30 minutes of riding. But it could be a problem for someone with more fixed ‘inter-knee’ distrance =)

Sorry I missed this before. Tom, the Ezy Superior is available in Europe. I ordered a pair from [wiggle.co.uk](http://wiggle.co.uk), and have been very happy with them so far. No annoying extra plastic parts. 🙂
