skewers

i just think the whole internal cam thing feels so much smoother

why doesnt someone else use the same design

American classic made a nice internal cam skewer, wern't cheap though.

What about using tune

about 45 euro's and they do look nice

They do define the 'golden' era for most of us though don't they - probably better than any other component. Such choice and variety and colours and and and...

It's a shame nowadays that more care isn't given to trick little bits in good colours and with lovely designs/ logos/ names.

I know, I know, we can go out and buy X-lite or hope ones in colours, but there was something about the mid nineties skewer options available that i miss.

I was thinking this morning as i flicked through an old mag - if I ever got my hands on a Delorian that could actually travel through time, bugger going back and sorting out your relatives - I'd go back and stockpile what was listed in the Stif advert from 1993. "all colours" seemed to be the resounding comment.

wow - ive never seen those two - there exactly what im looking for!

the guy with the rant - so was that argument for the internal system or against it?

45E for Tune?? Wheres my card....

Nice stuff tune, if a little pricey , but they still have that little bit of a retro look about the skewers and the bigfoot cranks.

...and the saetposts.

 

[retrobikeguy]

ah yes, forgot about those

 

[Augustus]

yeah if they did a layback i'd be tempted.

haven't checked actually - I'm off to check.

 

[gump]

no layback, I'm tempted

Those ebay skewers aren't quite Tune...look like copies. Thought 45E was a bargain!!
