Ringlé skewers, alu or Ti

[YourroyalHEINniss]

I'm delighted and confused.
As an extra some Ringlé skewers turned out to be fitted on a M900 Giant CFM1 from '92 which I recently found.

Based on the total weight of the pair (108 grams), it should be the aluminium version, but mine do not seem to have the extra material being drilled out on the inside which makes it looks like the TI ones?
Are these models from another year or maybe just fake?

I'd guess they're copies.
Are the skewers themselves ti or steel?

Magnetic, steel.
So probably copies, good ones though.

They are standard cam twist. Tell tell sign is no extra machining on the rear of the lever and steel rods

So all original holey ringle skewers all had the back machined out they never made them any different so if there not machined out there not real cheers

Cam twist:- solid lever,steel rods was around £40 pr
Ti- stix:- extra machining on the rear of lever,titanium rods was around £70 pr

from the outside,both looked them same and the coolest upgrade to have back in 1991
