Your existing skewers weigh that much??? Just for fun, I weighed two Shimano low line rear skewers and together they weighed 165 gms or 1/3 pound. I also weighed a pair of external cam boutique skewers and together they weighed 115 gms or 1/4 pound. How are you going to save 1/2 pound by replacing these? Would your new skewers have negative weight?
