I need a set of skewers for a really nice set of aluminum wheels.
My other wheels are Campy and I have always used Campy skewers.
What is the "hot ticket" these days?

Thanks,

If you search, there was a very informational thread about skewers in general..it was very helpful.

in ti or cromo the weight is good and i do like the heftiness combined with inward bend on the lever.

of course you know both skewer levers get bent backwards and parallel to the ground :). don't listen to the dorks.

I thought it was perpendicular and toward the ground.

I like my American Classic Skewers. Light, good price and they lock nice an secure.
