Mavic skewers wanted...

[Russ]

I am looking for those old Mavic Silver skewers that came with the Helium Wheels. They look like the current skewers that Mavic uses on their Ksyrium wheels, but silver. I need the front preferably, but I'd be willing to buy the set.

Does any one has any in good condition?

Thanks!

Two things, Russ. First, the Mavic skewers I got when I purchased Heliums were red to match the rims. Do you mean red ones? Second, Mavic alloy skewers like these and the older ones are really soft. You have to hammer down on them really tightly to get the wheel to stay put. This is not as welcome as the simple way that Campagnolo or Shimano skewers stay put. Even the cheaper AmClassic ones work better/fine. Just a thought.

I think Peter has the ones Russ is speaking of.
