I am picky about skewers and tend to buy the ones I like when they are a good deal. This policy may need to stop. This is my back up stock of skewers. Anybody here have more than this?

i have maybe 3/4 of that accumulated, but skewers for me arent really something I look for specifically. And yet somehow I still have a bunch of them.

should there be a sticky skewer FS/trade thread? lol

I was about to skewer you about your skewer hoarding but thought better of it. :D

I always wondered why for-sale wheelsets never come with skewers... :D :D :D

Tapatalk works well. $0.99/mon for the ad-free version and easy uploads to the site without taking up Paceline's bandwidth.

If I took the skewers out of all the extra wheels I have it would look something like that, but I only have 6 or 7 sets not mated to wheels.

I will admit I like that collection, especially the silver Mavic ones and the Shimano ones. The Campagnolo ones go without saying as excellent. The Mavic ones aren't common and I had a set and they were really nice.

Bravo!

We need to work something out because I always find myself short. I'm just about 3/bike which is nowhere near 1/hub or even 1/wheel.

This is too funny. I thought I had a lot laying around but this puts me to shame!

I dropped some off recently at Recycle a Bike in Providence if you "need" more.

I can think of two spare sets of skewers, but I'm sure there are more. I use them for various framebuilding tasks though
