| FavoriteTrail: | straight through the woods |
| Duration Product Used: | 1 Year |
| Price Paid: | $80 |
| Strengths: | Lightest ever, strong, technically perfect and beautiful |
| Weaknesses: | Price |
| Similar Products Tried: | XTR stuff |
| Bike Setup: | Trek OCLV97, rohloff, race face, eggbeaters, thudbuster, chris king, tune hubs, DT swiss, mavic, nokon, avid, .. |
| Bottom Line: | Both of them weigh less than one XTR skewer. Never failed, strong. Clamp mechanism simple and extremely effective - and I do only ride where there is no trail or road. Worth the price |

| Duration Product Used: | 6 months |
| Price Paid: | $80 |
| Purchased At: | Whizz Wheels |
| Strengths: | low weight, look nice |
| Weaknesses: | not strong enough, clamp mechanism unsafe |
| Similar Products Tried: | Shimano LX, XT, XTR, Salsa CroMoly |
| Bike Setup: | Trek 9900 OCLV |
| Bottom Line: | The lightest available. But... not strong enough, at least when you are big. Especially wobbly, when you happen to use a light fork, too, as you will when you want to use these skewers. The bike is definitely more stable with solid steel ones. An the clamp mechanism is not awe inspiring either: there is no clear cut end point of the closure move, and the thing might just get into the way of the spokes. So I use the tune hubs (black) with Salsa CroMoly skewers, which suit nicely with respect to function, coulour and finish. To say something nice about tune: those tune hubs are top notch. I've used them for four years now, and they work splendidly under a heavy weught rider (220 lbs). |
