I busted a front wheel quick release (me over tightening) the other day and wanted a alloy cam over type replacement due to the front suspension rebound adjustments being down there. I walked into the local shop and found 6 NOS cam type ones front and back for a $20 bundle deal.
A standard Shimano one (which doesn't work for me) is $25 new.
I was lucky to be at Amart sport store last year in Coffs Harbour when they had a clearance of NOS bicycle parts and scored Sram 8-9 speed clusters, chains and black spire chainrings etc. I use.
