I'm trying to clear out some more stuff I'm not using.

Mavic Ksyrium SL. Clincher, Campagnolo fitment. Has a spacer fitted for 11 speed but this can be removed obviously. Not much use and in excellent condition.
£250 collection from Hampshire.

How much do the lightweight skewers weigh?

If I remember correctly, they weigh around 45g a set.

What’s the weight of the Mavic clincher??

Definitely collection only...? 🤞🏻

Yeah, sorry.

That’s ok. 😢

sobs uncontrollably

You can buy basically identical skewers (same weight, shape) from Wiggle for £25, so I reckon your pricing is ambitious I'm afraid.

Is that an attempt at humour? You can buy something that looks the same for cheaper so these are priced too high...

Is the price of an imitation Chinese frame or set of carbon Wheels the basis for the value of other products...

These are made by “lightweight” (not just light weight) and I have seen them retail for much more than the asking price.

I have a set of these, they're almost certainly the same product from China branded differently, I've seen the like from Lifeline & Planet X. Personally, I don't see how the Lightweight ones are different.

Are the HED’s stinger 2.5’s?

Is the price of an imitation Chinese frame or set of carbon Wheels the basis for the value of other products...

I mean, first of all, yes, the price of some of the Chinese carbon rims does make you question whether spending a fortune per rim on a Western brand is actually worth it at all. Secondly, the LifeLine skewers not only look the same and are supposed to weigh the same, they are sold by Wiggle, so it's not exactly the same as getting something dodgy on ebay. Finally, here for example there is yet another version that looks the same (for yet another different price), further supporting the idea that this stuff just gets rebranded and sold for different prices for different market segments.

For something whose function is a simple and straightforward as a QR skewer, I personally really don't see the point in spending three times the amount for what is essentially the same product, with not even a weight difference.

However, in your defense, yes, if someone absolutely does want the 'light weight' skewers specifically, yours are at 60% of the retail price.
