Building A Road Bike In Pictures #3 The Skewers

With the DC14 quick releases, Tune mixed together aluminum, titanium and carbon to create one of the lightest and nicest road skewers available. Thanks to clever material choices and a slim design, the DC14 achieve an incredible weight of only 33 grams. The aluminum washer on the lever side received an anti-friction coating to guarantee easy opening and closing of the quick releases and to allow rotation of the lever in closed position. The rear skewer uses a titanium road while the front features one in aluminum. More amazingly, there are no weight restrictions to use these skewers.
