Following from the other skewer thread, I have Askium's on the road bike, with Mavic QR's - would changing to Shimano road qr's be a good thing to do ? and if so which ones ? I can see Ultegra's at Rose for a bit over £30 posted for a set
I would say that Mavic skewers are good IME. I wouldn't change them.
It'd be good if you owned a bike shop selling those things, otherwise, no not particularly. What advantage do you expect to gain from changing them?
I use these on my proper road bike Iain. Mt Zoom Ti, had them a couple of years with no issues. I swapped these for rattly mavic ones.

just reading all the folks raving about how Shimano ones are more secure than anything else really.What advantage do you expect to gain from changing them?
For mtbs. I would trust Mavic skewers too.
Have you had any problems with the Mavic ones? If not then keep them.
If you're not happy with them then the shimano ones do a great job.
thanks, I've not had any problems with the Mavic ones, albeit they and the wheels are quite new. Will stick with them, cheers
