NRG Quick Release

I've been looking into getting a quick release and had a couple questions about NRG's. I see there are 3 gens...is the third one worth it? If not which would you recommend. Also, if I do go with a 3G, does the hub lock work with those? Also, where is the best place to buy them new, I was on getnrg and was wondering if it's best to use there site or through a vendor (Site sponsors feel free ;0)

I had a NRG slim hub and the Gen2 quick release with a Momo tuner steering wheel, The steering wheels are interchangeable as long as they have the regular 6 (i think? [it's been a while]) bolts in the same locations, you'd be able to tell instantly... The slim quick release have a slight annoyance with it being a little loose (it jiggles). I didn't have any problems with my G2 Q/R... The locking hub is interchangeable, the ball bearings on all NRG hubs are the same (G1-G2, The slim hub I don't think the lock thingy will work on it, unless they made one specifically for it?).

I was looking at the G3 and getting a lock for it. I need a shorthub for a teg, a quick release, and then a wheel right? (Hub locks extra..ill get a lock for it at some point)

i have the g1 don't have any compliants, and i think most of the pieces are interchangeable but not 100, i know when you see the difference it only looks cosmetic

Correct

My recommendation (You can find these at most auto "tuner" shops... racinglab.com, weaksauce.org are my recommendations [their local to me so i've dealt with them before])

(the 3.5 looks interesting, i never seen this before so i have no experience with it)

or
http://www.racinglab.com/nrg-qr1-srk-250bc.html
or
http://www.racinglab.com/nrg-qr1-srk-200bk.html

Then

Any of these will work

Any NRG ball bearing QR would probably work pretty well, They used to make (thought they still made it) a slim quick release that you would spin off and it was just a POS.

Odd, I was looking on NRG's website...they don't even have a 3.5 on there. I wanted to get the orange one in color..racing lab's is like 50 cheaper.

I was amazed by it, I think it's designed to look like paddle shifters. But I first thought batman when i seen it.

But after some light research the 3.5 is brand spankin new and the locking hub cover won't work on it.

Dang, it looks JUST like the 3 on getnrg.com...what do you think I should get..?

I thought the slim QR was the 3... I guess I was wrong, Get whichever one you think is best, I think the ball bearing pattern is all the same but have a different front/back part or whatever it's called.

Awesome, thanks for your help, now I just need to figure out if the locks compatible or not..and where to buy it, I'm liking the 3's easy use paddles, but I don't see many retailers selling it with a package deal. Grrr.
