Need some new skewers for my new Eastons
Bought some new Easton wheels from chainlove and they came without skewers. For the time being, I can use the ones off my old Easton Vistas, but want to eventually get some new ones.
Any suggestions on good quality black skewers? I have heard that Dura Ace skewers are very good, but I'd like something in black.
Don't care if they Ti or not - I'm not trying to be a weight weenie.

FSA steel skewers. Sturdy with a mean bite.

KCNC if you want lightweight.
Shimano if you want durability and good engineering.

Unless you change wheels 10 times a day, durability isn't a factor.
I have tens of thousands of KM's on my Tune AC 14/15's. They weigh 42 grams for the pair and still look like they did 3 years ago.

Even though you're "trying" not to be a weightweenie, those KCNC skewers are uber-light AND black.
