Anybody know of any good quality white,
Ti or Crmo Skewer Sets under £40.00.

Thanks
Matt

Forget colour & Ti as a decent QR is more important, shimano all the way!

Ti seems to be a poor material for skewers, possibly too elastic.

shimano +1

I have some old Ringlé Ti skewers, which I really coveted years ago. I can never quite do them up tight enough. Probably for that reason. I think they are possibly good for a weight saving for lighter riders, but I'd go with bog-standard Shimano skewers as well, tbh.

IME the blinger they are the worse they work. Another +1 for Shimano.

I love my Salsa ones but I'm sure they don't do white. The lock up good and strong.

Have tried quite a few different QR's, includng some pricey one, and even Deore Shimano ones are better than anything else. You could always paint them white...
