Salsa Skewers shiny 'nuff

The pair of Salsa skewers arrived. Here they are compared to the old Shimano Ultegra ones.

The new ones are a bit heavier, but the end-nut is shiny metal, not chewed-up plastic.

To my relief, they fit just fine. Here's the front skewer installed on the front fork.

I can't try the rear skewer the same way because the rear fork is still at the factory being polished. Nothing more to do now, until that is done.
