Mine are rusty as hell and could do with tarting up

I've seen these by crank bros... anyone had any experience? I cant seem to see of they're mtb or road.

I'm happy to stick to campag, but these look rather interesting

thoughts?

    I dislike them, a lot.

    How may times have you had a decent QR open while riding? It's never happened to me in years of both mountain biking and road riding...

    They're a solution to a problem which doesn't exist. They do look nice, but there's many cheaper, lighter skewers which also look nice.

    Hmm, not a fan either. Stick with your campy ones.
