from Redmon, ILDate Reviewed: April 25, 2003
Strengths: Front and rear are Ti.
Very attractive.
No slipping. Fast shipping from Airborne.Weaknesses: none yetBottom Line: When my CrMo skewers broke I did not know where to go but knew I wanted Ti. Found these on Airborne.com for $15 but was charged $15 shipping! So I bought 2 pr to offset the shipping costs.
These were delivered to my home 3 states from the distribution center in 26 hrs! Now that is prompt!
They are light, attractive, high quality skewers with front and rear being Ti. $45 for two sets is a steel.
No slipping even after sprints or tough hill climbs.
Favorite Ride: A ride with rolling hills and an uphill finish
Price Paid:
$15.00
Purchased At: Airborne.com
Similar Products Used: Shimano Ultegra, Bontrager, stock junk

Strengths: Light weight, low priceWeaknesses: Holding powerBottom Line: Cheap price caught my attention. Rear wheel slips under high torque on my stainless dropouts. Now I have to crank it really tight and test it befrore each race starts to avoid taking the paint off my chainstays (done many times) or screwing up the race (haven't done yet). If I can get some D/A skewers for a reasonable price I'll switch.
Favorite Ride: Anything with a sprint finish
Price Paid:
$15.00
Purchased At: Airborn Site
Similar Products Used: All of them
Bike Setup: Steel frame, SS dropouts, D/A hubs

Strengths: Nice price, light weightWeaknesses: Rear skewer would not hold, grooves were vertually non-existent after 1 ride.Bottom Line: I had no problems with the front wheel, but the rear skewer slipped like crazy. I have a steel frame, so I don't understand the problem. I haven't sent them back yet, but plan on it to see what the customer relations are like.
Favorite Ride: Any Sunday with my mates
