Evening all,

Anyone used these or have any opinions on them? Are they any good and do they hold the wheel securely in use?

I've also looked at the DT rws Skewers too of anyone has used them?

I've got a couple of sets of the Halo ones. One of the wee tabs which stops the thing unscrewing has snapped off though, so has been retired. Wasn't impressed as it's barely been used.

The remaining set is on my 'good' bike which gets regularly hammered and so far, the wheels have stayed on...

Yup, I have the Halo ones, replacing my old BBB skewers because the colour matches my headset, hubs etc. Seem to work fine so far, so no worries.

One side of the Halo skewer has a flat to take a 15mm cone spanner to avoid snapping the tab - although not much use for the front safety QR webs.
