The very worst thing is a plastic bearing between the cam face and the bit which presses on the dropout face. If you really must have weight weenie skewers, at least try to find some with a phosphor-bronze bearing (e.g. Token). If you're road racing and need quick wheel changes, use Shimano or Campag. If you're not racing and can tap the axles, bolt-on is lighter and cheaper than any weight weenie skewer and adds only a few seconds to your wheel change time.

a) the general LFGSS consensus is 'don't bother with lightweight fancy QR skewers, they're more hassle than they're worth' right? Was gunna get some lifeline Ti ones but if someone can point me at a more reliable / better set around £30, have at it.
b) didn't someone mention a 10% off code for Superstar recently?
