Good QR skewers

[tepextate]

The best compromise is the Mavic QR with the un-butted Ti rod. They are lighter than D.A. but offer enough clamping force.

Extralite Aliens 4 is junk.

Problem is stock. I can't find this being sold anywhere in the US!

I bought mine a long time ago. I think Enve might have owned Mavic at one point and now the design is now produced by Enve. Get this one. It's the same as the Mavic, just looks a bit different.

Preowned market has few options, sending you few links in MP (mostly from Europe, seems have more options).

Styx Aero Skewers are very good looking. Wish know the clamping force and stiffness

From my experience the only skewers that work are internal cam versions eg DA 9100 or Ultegra 6700. I've never been able to prevent any external cam rear skewers from moving around and squeaking under power. DA versions use slightly higher quality materials. The zero noise and movement is a small price to pay for their extra weight! www.sjscycles.co.uk stock them.

The Enve/Mavic QRs I recommended have internal cams. So it's not only Campy and Shimano that have QRs with internal cams. I've used Campy and Dura Ace QRs in the past but found the Enve/Mavic provide similar clamping forces at a lighter weight.

I haven't used the TriRig skewers, but the other recommendations are spot on. The RWS skewers are incredibly strong and durable. I have them on the back of my gravel bike (135mm QR) and they have never missed a beat. On my other bikes (all rim braked), I use the Zipp Ti skewers. They're stiff, light, not too exotic or expensive. I recommend them, highly.
