Just got these from a seller in Germany not too long ago. Used it a couple rides.. And the night before Levi Gran Fondo, unpacked my wheels and was about to put it onto my bike and this fell out!

Good thing my buddy had a spare mavic skewers I could use for the ride.

Is this normal? The seller said he will send me some pins and adhesives??

TBH, these do not look like Tune DC skewers, not at all. Even more, I'd say these are totally cheap fakes.

How DC14 looks like: http://www.ubyk.co.uk/static_files/cata ... ubyk01.jpg

They are ACs of dubious provenance. I have 2 sets of DC's and a set of AC's. These look fake.

fake? they look identical to the set i got from Starbikes. even the logos, packaging, weight are identical.

rechecked my ebay purchase and it's the DC16/17 MTB (revised title)

the model Bike24 sells looks the same too: https://www.bike24.com/p24464.html

I use the tune AC 14 and I've been very satisfied with it. They don't seem to be fake for me and your post makes me a little bit uneasy.

Tune had several version of the 16/17 I own four pair but they don't look like these. Could be yours are a newer version.
either way fake or genuine at that price I wouldn't repair them but let the seller solve it by exchanging them or ar least the faulty one.

Anyone using a colored Tune QR? I ordered a DC14 and received them today. Disappointed to see that the QR handle color does not match the nut color at all.

I do have the red ones and the colors match perfectly on both ends. I would say you got a lemon and should send it back.

^^ yeah I'm returning it. They can't replace it because it looks like all their stock has the same issues. Ohhh well.
