    Favorite Trail:chubb
    Duration Product Used:1 Year
    Strengths:keeps wheel attached to bike, lightweight i guess, allows me to say "hey, i have ti skewers"
    Weaknesses:no remote control
    Similar Products Used:other skewers
    Bike Setup:2 wheeled carbon thing
    Bottom Line:hey, they work, came with a bike i bought off some guy, if you are considering upgrading your skewers because your current ones are holding you back, perhaps you are just out of shape. skewers are skewers....5 chilis because my wheels have yet to fall off while i am riding

    Duration Product Used:1 Year
    Purchased At:online
    Strengths:lightest Ti skewers
    Weaknesses:creaking: cam lever works against nylon bearing. problem appears to have been solved by a little grease.
    Similar Products Used:various
    Bike Setup:Road: seven axiom, tunecomp hubs
    Bottom Line:not that sexy looking, but best price to weight ratio of any skewer. Creaking was annoying, but i think that's solved. Never came loose on me, but then again has only been used on-road.

    Date Reviewed: December 24, 1999
    Favorite Trail:
    Sullivan Canyon Area
    Duration Product Used:
    6 months
    Strengths:
    Very lite not toooo expensive
    Weaknesses:
    Front Skewer loosens when going Bonzi down hill
    Similar Products Used:
    standard Al skewers
    Bike Setup:
    Intense Uzzi SL/SID 100mm
    Bottom Line:This product is very good on wt. So far I have not broke them but twice the front skewer worked its way loose. Once the only reason it didn't take me out was because I stopped to wait for a friend and noted the flip-off looked unusual. Now I still use them but I use a twist tie to hold the flip-off from moving. Over-all a good not great product, about the security?
