Looking for some nice red MTB QR skewers, but Hope are too much.
Are the Superstar, if that's the Company, ok as they seem reasonably priced.
Or anything similar, but a darkish red, not a washed-out colour.

really, just stick with Shimano enclosed cam ones. Especially round here, the mud water and grit just kills external cam ones.0

superstar ones have a plastic collar onthem where as the hopes have brass! am sure they are good but the plastic bit lets them down!
have a look for BandX on crc and the like, io think they were £18 for the three (front, rear and seat qr)Timmo.

The exposed brass aint too hot either.0

A2Z cromo is what you want. Winstanleys has them in stock so you shouldn't have a problem. 12.99 and they do a decent job considering they aren't shimano. red seems dark enough in person but.....

Not tried wheel ones, but the cheapo one on my seat clamp with a plastic slidery bit works much better than the hope one.allthegearnoidea wrote:superstar ones have a plastic collar onthem where as the hopes have brass! am sure they are good but the plastic bit lets them down!0 -
A2Z look nice, good price too, ta...
But, did they have to have em in White too.
Bike is Matt black, red/white hi-lites. Silver cranks, forks etc.
Wheels, white hubs and rims, black spokes.
Now... Red or White skewers?

Yeah, red seems the way to go so far, but white may help, when you get a flat, and drop the small screw part of the QR into the grass, at dusk, when it's peeing down!
As this has happened more than once, white probably shows up better.0 -
they do do white and southwater cycles list them in white but for more money. suck it and see as to whether they can get them, they have to order in but it's not usually a problem and they send direct from the warehouse.

I would go for white, but as its probably painted it will scratch quickly.And now you know, and knowing is half the battle

Got loadsa choices now, ta all.
Have to wait til wheels built up to judge the Pimpiest colour scheme.
Want it pimped but understated, with stealthy undertones.
Not much to ask, is it?0 -
I've just got the Superfly Alloy Hollow Cro-mos from Superstar and they're ace. Weight barely anything, look great and work perfectly

"Superfly" eh? With a name like that, it's gotta be worth a look.

Yeha, they are good - I've gone a step too far I think with the red bling - Red cable crimps

Your cassettte is WAY too clean!
Red crimps ok, but I was thinking of those alu cable housing, the ones in sections, but my mates done his road bike and it look shit, and he totally agrees..and he runs a bike company!!!
Think the black/red thing a bit Vampire-ish, so would Freud think it was something to do with blood sucking/breast feeding?
