corki Upgraded Quick Release Skewer Set Titanium for Road Bike MTB Bike

They were really easy to install, I think that they look great, fit well and held up when the stock ones failed. (User error) good quality for a good price

Good quality. Keep your wheels in place. Durable too.

These are a fantastic design, both in form and function. I wanted some red accents for my bike, plus the innovative alternative to a typical cam lock skewer design is really handy.The red color is vivid and attractive, and the machining is high quality as well. Fit and finish are fantastic.On mine, it seems that they could use a little lubrication so the lever part pulls easier when trying to loosen or tighten the skewer. I’m going to squirt a little powdered graphite in there, and I bet that will help with any metal-on-metal issues.

These are the coolest qr skewers I have ever used. Not only good looks and light weight, but no more constant adjusting to find that sweet spot where skewer tension and closeability meet. Just ratchet until tight, then pop out the lever and adjust to your liking. So much easier to mount wheels, especially rear wheel, whether the bike is in the stand or on the ground. Giving 4 stars only because I haven't had enough time on the trail yet. Did I mention that these skewers are cool and great looking? ;<)

These skewers are the best combination of quality, security and weight that I have found. They replace some low-cost, very light-weight skewers that weighed just about 50 grams but had nylon washers that broke. The lever on those low-cost skewers never had a nice over-center feel when clamping them, and I never felt like they provided a firm grip.These CORKI skewers cost twice as much, and at 68 grams they weigh a little more, but they're much, much better. They seem to be very sturdy and well-made, and they still weigh much less than the 127 gram original-equipment skewers that came with my high-end bike.Instead of flipping a lever, like on traditional skewers, you rotate the lever to clamp the skewers. This approach, combined with the good build quality of the skewers seems to provide a better, more secure clamping force. Once you've tightened the skewer, you pull the lever out to position it wherever you want. It's a great idea, and a great way to clamp your axles to your frame!

I'll never use another kind of skewer again. The rachet design makes it incredibly easy to get the perfect clamp tightness. The skewer is also slightly longer than most skewers are, meaning that you never risk the nut running out of thread and then catapulting off. They're also quite light and clearly made of high quality metal.

These skewers are quite attractive and light. But they do not use a cam-driven clamping mechanism (as most skewers do). Instead, they essentially screw on.What's wrong with that? Well, a couple of things:1. As you are trying to screw the lever to tighten the clamp, at some point, the other end of the skewer begins rotating as well. So now, you have to find some way to hold the nut at the other side of the skewer while rotating the lever. That defeats the purpose of a quick release skewer.2. A lever cam design can put much higher clamping force on the dropout than one that uses a screw design. That extra clamping force keeps the interface from squeaking and creaking under high pedal pressure.It's a shame really. These are beautiful skewers and I really wanted to like them.

Just buy these. Don't even think twice. This is such an outstanding upgrade compared to a regular skewer. Not only does it give you the opportunity to clamp your wheel on with much greater force, it's shaved 40 grams off of my former quick-release skewer set. This is a beautiful set of skewers and the mechanism by which it works is ingenious. In fact, I'm shocked that the industry has not moved to this type of ratchet system already. It's a true game changer for people without a thru-axle. For the price, I can't imagine a better set of skewers. If I could give this 6 stars I would.
