TBH, they don't look too different to the KCNC ones I already have (which are a whole gramm heavier!). No issues so far with them.0 -

Kind of daft really, seeing as titanium is more stretchy than steel.sheepsteeth wrote:those levers look remarkably short, i'll never get the clamped up tight surely?
Even with a longer lever, they may not be as solid anyway.0 -

I've been using Ti skewers on bikes for a lot longer than I can remember. Never had an issue with them either stretching or working loose.0 -
Fair enough. But Ti does stretch, unlike steel.
I used to have a nightmare of a job trying to get my hope skewers tight enough to keep my front wheel in place. Went back to bog standard shimano, and it's not been a problem.
Then came 20mm axles to save the day

I think that might be your problem. Nothing to do with steel or Ti...

But they're 119g for the pair! :shock:
Granted, you can't fault Shimano skewers and I wouldn't want to use anything else on the Coiler's wheels. But 119g...0 -

Same here. Arrived this morning, complete with Haribos. Very nice and rather light. Can't weight to get them on the scales... 0 -

Also ordered a set to go with my new wheels. Almost ordered these the other week but forgot 0

I ordered the one hollow black cro mo for a fiver, I need blue for the hardtail's new pimp scheme of orange White and blue, and the susser has a 15 qr front
Might have to get some blue carbon ones instead0
