"The Porkies are a great value and beautifully made skewer. Lovely big levers which help in the cold weather or when conditions are a bit sloppy. The anodising is great quality with lovely bright colors.....can't beat a bit of bling....and all this for less than £15!"

Saintly Halo's
Pros: Great Value, Attractive, Rugged, High Quality, Adjustable, Good Fit
"You know the problem.,wider front dropouts on your forks and your front skewer only just caught enough thread.Then gritting your teeth downhill or around bends as you load up forces at the front wheel.White knuckle riding at it's worst,will the skewer hold up or come looose?Have no fear Porkies Halo's xl have arrived with their extra long axles specially designed for those thicker dropouts we now have.These are simply perfect and now I have the confidence to get back to proper biking with no worries about eqipment failure.Definitely a much needed and 5 Star product."

Good Skewers
Pros: Attractive, Good Fit, Great Value
"What can i say except for the white colour of the skewers which set them apart, these skewers work well. After running them in and getting the gloss of them they work fine. They tighten up when you need them and grip.
They look good and they are not a bad price. Overall I am pleased."

really good skewers
Pros: Adjustable, Attractive
"Really good skewers, the best, the price, the quality, simply fabolous, I think taht in these components a good material is more important than the real weight. I recommend it also they are really pretty."

big is best
Pros: Adjustable, Attractive, Durable, Great Value, High Quality, Lightweight, Rugged
"The extra large clamps on these make them so easy to use. No more fiddly fingers trying to get the wheel on and off. I MTB ride a lot at night and it makes the whole process so much easier.
The number one + though is the price. They are light and high quality and yet not expensive at all. They come with a very comprehensive instructions as well.
definetely a hot buy"
