Skewers (yay!)
I have been using anti-theft skewers on my bike. Now, I have a cheaper bike that I'm moving the anti-theft skewers on. The skewers that came with the cheap bike are not quick release, so I want to buy some new skewers. Excuses to spend money!
Any suggestions? The anti-theft skewers were like 67g or something, but weight doesn't matter too much for me. It would be nice if they looked cool/were red.
- I really don't feel confident buying anything unless I post here first.

Never heard of any problems with Salsa skewers, but I haven't used them. They come in whatever color you want though!

Most bikes if they have QR hubs, come with QR skewers.
What kind of bike is it, and what are the wheels?

They are rs-10 wheels. I replaced the skewers with anti-theft ones (which I am now moving to another bike). I have no idea where I put the original skewers >.<
...actually I found the original front skewer...still need a rear, though.

Then it's going to be an ordinary 130mm QR rear skewer you can get at any LBS.

Thanks for reminding me to order some skewers. Just got some of these. They have 2 types and are wicked cheap.

I have been giving these out as birthday presents to friends. They are very nice.
