hoping you'd say something more interesting like Hope or KCNC
I'll be happy to recommend either if they ever start making properly designed QR skewers. They're both good companies, but making proper QRs is very capital intensive (clearly beyond even a relatively substantial company like Hope), whereas anybody can make crappy open cam ones and they're all equally bad. You might as well go for the cheapest if you just want horrible QRs which will wear out, break, and, if you have disc brakes, kill you in the face with fire.

Ha! Fair enough. I'm looking to replace/upgrade on my current open cam skewers. They aren't terrible, but they were the standard ones with the wheelset and have the plastic bushes that compress too much under clamping pressure. I thought that a brass bushed Ti or stainless skewer may get the seal of approval, but it seems not.
They will be going on my fair weather road bike for a tour of Hokkaido in June, no disc brakes, just some climbs and descents to deal with on a reasonable road surface.

Thought you might say Shimano. I was hoping you'd say something more interesting like Hope or KCNC. Thanks anyway.
