I'm looking to upgrade just my rear skewer. The Cannondale HG one that came stock with the Hollowgram wheels and my bike weigh a whopping 65g.

look nice, but i'm trying to avoid buying 2.

If i were to buy a pair of KCNC lightweight skewers, would they be equally as good quality as my OEM cannondale "HG" rear skewer? KCNC would be half the weight...

I think....

road/rim brake = 130.

road disc brake + mtb = 135.
