Bottom Line:
I bought these because they seem like a good price for ti skewers. I've had no real problems with the front skewer, but the rear skewer I just don't like. I've used the shimano style where the lever isn't strait out and that style seems to open and close smoothly. The Sette ones are hard to get tight and then really hard to open, not a bad thing when your riding but a pain when taking your wheel off to put on the roof rack. I was fixing my flat rear tire and noticed that the drive side drop out is pretty chewed up and I can only think that the rear skewer hasn't done its job by keeping the wheel in place. I'm on the hunt for new skewers. 3 value since the front is ok but 2 overall cause the rear one sucks.
