Titanium quick release skewers


Titanium quick release skewers - 48g

I was pleasantly surprised when these generic fleabay Ti quick release skewers arrived from China.

Highlights

  • they weigh 48g for the pair as claimed;
  • machining is intricate and well done;
  • anodizing looks good - deep colour and good consistency.
  • clamp mechanism uses a brass washer/bush so you can achieve high clamping force;
