Carbon-Ti X-Lock Special Titanium Skewers In familiar fashion, Carbon-Ti again pushes the envelope with its X-Lock Special series skewers. The X-Lock Specials use the same design features as the standard X-Locks, but material has been removed from every possible surface to make these the very lightest quick release skewers available anywhere. These skewers function on a simple spherical open cam design which prevents the cam from becoming misaligned, and increases the surface area where pressure is applied. Carbon-Ti includes small custom made cap springs to keep the skewer centered for fast wheel changes. Due to the small dimensions of this particular design, care must be taken not to over clamp the skewer, and both cams and end caps should be inspected periodically to ensure the safety of the rider. Both the axles and lever arms are manufactured from high quality grade 5 titanium. The axles' center sections are swaged to increase their fatigue life, which additionally provides some slight weight reduction. The 7075 aircraft-grade aluminum axle ends are aggressively machined to the smallest possible dimensions, and are beautifully anodized in black. Suitable for use on road or mountain bikes.
