I live/work in a relatively low crime area (more casual bike thieves than pros), so I was hoping this would be a more convenient (and lighter though I ride a drop bar converted steel mtb with font and rear racks so I'm not much concerned with weight) way to secure my wheels than the long 12 mm cable I use now looped through my u-lock.

Just by hefting them they're maybe a little lighter than the quando skewers I pulled from the hub but I doubt it's significant.
Thanks for the reply, something like that would be nice for my good bike but with all the trouble I've gone through to ditch weight, it would be silly of me to jump blindly at them
