A very rare opportunity to own a set of these super rare and crazy light skewers. The front Mudslinger skewer weighs 25.5 grams, the rear weighs 29 grams. They come with a mini ratchet handle which you need use to operate them which makes them great as an anti-theft device too! Description and review on Bikepro, here:

Thanks man, they're very well made indeed, the little ratchet tool is great!
 
Only just spotted this Ant! Very cool, thanks mate.

These are still available by the way, open to offers!
 
lightweight?

Hi.

I'm wondering how much the ratchet tools weigh?

I appreciate that the skewers are light ... 54.5 grams together ... and that when the bike is left outside the fish 'n chip joint no one will be able to sneak away with a wheel ...

... but you'd be carrying the ratchet tools with you in case of flats, right? In which case you may be better of with regular quick releases? (provided you didn't need to leave your bike outside the shops).

Cheers. Frank

A good point Frank, yes you'd have to pop the ratchet tool on your keyring or in your tool kit if you were out for a ride. I guess the appeal of these is for those who count the grams or those looking for a super rare set of skewers for their project. The fact that your wheels would be very difficult to steal without the very scarce tool is also a bonus!
