I find it unbelievable that this is not talked about more! What, are you guys holding out? Installed a set of KCNC skewers in place of the Campy boat anchors and holybeej'esus, man is my bike fast! Up hill, down hill, on the flats, around the bends ALL BETTER!! 90g at the hub was the ticket, most cost effective bike upgrade I have ever done! Heck now even the cute girls jogging wave, life is good:thumbsup:

sorry but a 90 gram saving on a 6km, 6% grade at 300watts saves you only .95 seconds!

I bet you can hardly turn the pedals with two full water bottles. lol

He drinks one before the start of a climb.....less weight to carry up the hill.

Water bottles...I don't ride with those...they just cramp my style, lol

Haha. Yes I find titanium skewers to me much more practical than staying hydrated as well.

Hydration is so overrated! I mean look at this guy, he hasn't had a drink for 70 years and he still looks fresh as a daisy!

^that post was a win! The only way that he could last so long without water is by rockin' the hell out of the red KCNC skewers. He got them so that they could match the dot on his forehead.

Just dont go off any curb or pop up a small edge. They are made to be light, not hold your wheel on.

If you buy other KCNC parts, they eliminate the need for food and might even have physics reversal properties.

I need to look into these. 3 mph faster = training only once maybe twice a week. More time for beer and T.V.
Thanks for the tip.

I bought the exact same skewers and experienced similar results.

What's more important than speed is to practice Safe Skewering. Always use a rubber!

SEE!! SEE!! Awesome! I knew there would be some converts! wooooohooooo :thumbsup:










On a more serious note they are very nice, no spontaneous dislodgement etc. even though they were a bit pricey they are well made and I'm happy with the purchase. Now only if the came loaded with some sort of pheromones so the cute girl joggers/bikers did actually wave!

After reading this thread, I got really excited about the impact that different skewers would make in terms of speed and power. So before this morning's ride, I removed my skewers altogether. The results were simply amazing. However, a tad bit of brake rub and bunny-hops were a bit of a challenge.......:idea:

We're all trying to be serious and you're just being silly.

Lovely. Just when I thought I had an advantage you guys go on the interwebs and spill your guts. Have to go full ceramic and use Optygen laced with Sportlegs to get free speed now.
