Quality of Shimano MT500 E -Thru Axle
Based on our assessment of Shimano MT500 E -Thru Axle, it scores a very credible 8.9/10 for quality.
There’s no doubt that quality is a major factor when buying any bike related products but as you’d imagine, it’s especially important when buying Quick Releases. The difficulty with shopping online is that we don’t get the benefit of being able to see and perhaps test the product like we would in-store. So we aren’t able to make an informed decision for ourselves on the quality of an item.
This is why it’s important to read lots of reviews, as customers like you will give honest and open feedback on the quality of a product. That’s why we really emphasise the importance of spending time reading lots of reviews, don’t just look for the good ones, try and dig deeper into those that aren’t so positive. There are various factors that can influence the quality of a product or even our perception of the quality of a product. Generally these are:
- Price: Whilst this absolutely isn’t always the case, often the higher the price the better the quality, when comparing like-for-like products.
- Specification: You will have seen the features and specs of Shimano MT500 E -Thru Axle above, some of the specs will be of a better or worse quality than alternative products, we often use the specs list as a guide to how good Quick Releases are.
- Brand: Obviously Shimano are pretty well known for their great quality Quick Releases, but there are tons of different brands out there, some will be better known for offering better quality products, so if it’s quality you’re after, shop for those products from brands that are known for their quality.
- Your own preferences and experience – nothing can beat your own experience. We all have different expectations of what we consider to be good quality, so it’s important to think about and apply any previous experience or preferences you have when shopping around. Do you have any experience with Shimano MT500 E -Thru Axle or products from Shimano. If you’ve never bought Quick Releases before then reviews will of course be a huge factor for you.
