Thanks, just bagged a pair of tyres and a set of the skewers.

Not sure whether they are meant to be road skewers (130mm?) but they seem to use pretty much all the thread on the rear of my dyna-tech...

I was just about to order a set of red and gold skewers but what Haribo has said has me wondering.... They do seem to be a road bike site really. Can anyone confirm that these will run ok on normal 27 speed MTB's?

 

[haribo]

Will take a pic later if you like, i have them on a 8/9 speed rear hub, they seemed to fit ok when i popped them on this morning...

 

[Mr Footlong]

Don't worry thanks. At £30 for 2 sets of them it's a cheap gamble worth taking .

Edit: typo......

Don't worry thanks. At £20 for 2 sets of them it's a cheap gamble worth taking .

I'm still wondering about that - would you let me know how you get on with them please?

Much appreciated, as is the original post, cheers!

I bought just the 1 set in the end for the Voodoo that I have made a road-only bike and am being a weight weeny with. If they seem tough enough to stick on the ravens then I will order another couple of sets if still on offer. Not sure how much trust I would put in them for big ass downhills

 

[Mr Footlong]

Right, got them today. While they are lovely, I am convinced that they are for road bikes. The rods on both are about 4-5mm mm shorter than my hope ones and with the inner caps having quite heavy countersinking for the springs, on the rear of my Voodoo, only about 3mm of thread makes contact. They don't feel sturdy enough to keep on to me.

The front gets a little more thread contact with the RC31's but still not enough for me to consider keeping on. The rod width also seems thinner visually to me but I didn't check it with a guage. I am not going to bother trying them on the Ravens. Shame as they are very nice and came in at 42 grams on the scales but c'est la vie!
