Skewer id help (round 2)

[ishaw]

After a successful id of a pair of skewers recently, I thought I'd try with another set.

I bought these as I liked the look of them, to me they look a bit like Middleburn cranks, but in skewer form. I've got plans for a build with silver parts, Inc Middleburn cranks so these should work nicely, but what are they/who made them?

I've tried various searches and come up blank, so hoping the collective knowledge of RB can help shed some light on them.

Middleburn, pretty rare to actually see any.
(to go in their hubs)

That was my first thought but no end of searching has yielded a pic of a single one, let alone a pair.

The logo threw me a bit, it doesn't look like any Middleburn 'M" I've ever seen. Even looking for that threw up nothing.

I can find some if you need, look for Middleburn Morphosis

You don't often see Morphosis name.
Should be some hard to see in some hubs and some for sale.

Edit down it for you.

Johnrock sold em.

Cheers, nothing comes up on Google at all so appreciate you identifying them and pointing me at some examples of them.

I got this one with a Middleburn hub, now fitted on my Dave Hinde rasta build.

What material are the axles? Are they good at their job? I've never had any issues with any qrs really but these ones look really nice and will match the cranks nicely. Got me wanting some matching hubs, or at least a rear as I have a pace front.

Ti axle, they seem to work nicely.

I have this lonely rear skewer that came to me with a Middleburn wheelset. Really faded red, would be nice project to remove anodisation and do a polish. Anyone interested? KermitGKona88?
