Abstract
A drive mechanism is presented for tightening a skewer of a bicycle fork anchor upon a prong of a bicycle fork by delivering a predetermined drive-force to the skewer. The drive mechanism draws a head of the skewer against the prong thereby pinch-securing the bicycle fork to the bicycle fork anchor. The drive mechanism can include a manually operable actuator and a transmission. The manually operable actuator can be coupled to the transmission. The transmission can include a slip mechanism that only transmits driving forces to the skewer of the bicycle fork anchor that are less than the predetermined drive-force.
