Halo Mercury Skewers | £59.99
BikeRadar verdict
"The chromoly units offer good performance and weight for the money"
These are well finished, good looking skewers, and the carbon and titanium versions share the same neat carbon lever. The cam/roller locking mechanism is positive in its action, with a delrin insert to keep things smooth.
There are two options, the more sensible one being a hollow chromoly skewer set that weighs in at a svelte 72g. If you're feeling flush you could splash out on a set of titanium skewers instead. They're advertised at fully 5g lighter, but I couldn't tell any difference in the weight, and given that the chromoly ones are stronger and 20 quid cheaper it's a bit of a non-contest really.
And should you buy the £40 chromoly version? Well they're impressively light, but they certainly don't feel flimsy. If you're in the market for some featherweight skewers you can do a lot worse; there are lighter skewers out there, but not many for 40 quid. The Ti ones aren't quite as compelling.

£60 for a pair of skewers? They have to be joking.
