Any magenta color skewers?
Moderator: robbosmans
I’m looking for magenta colored skewers to match my El Rosado EE brake calipers. Right now I’m using Zipp titanium black skewers and was even thinking of anodizing the levers. Never done any anodizing before. What do you think?

I agree black is would be best but Tune has magenta and if you’re in Europe, Wert Cycling may as well.

I have those too and they'll be installed on a BoB frame. You could also change it up with a different color that still compliments:

Don't forget cable housing and the cable tips.

Hi, I checked on eBay (magenta skewer) and there was a magenta skewer on sale from the UK.
I highly recommend WOOdman skewers as an excellent combination of light weight and strength. They have a pink Gator skewer that might pass for magenta if you squint.
Hope also has purple skewers that come close.

I've not see the El Rosado EE brakes in person, but that magento looks quite vivid. Wert Stick Shift QR's in violet are probably too dark to match (see attached photo). Other Cane Creek and Wert colors do match well (same anodizer).
I wouldn't recommend re-anodizing the levers, since it's extremely expensive and the result is also less than initial anodization. I have some leftover stock from closing down the company, although voilet is down to the last pair, since it's proven the most popular color after black.
