My old skewers are bent and slightly curved. Any suggestions on new ones? I looked around a little and there seems to be a large price difference. Are the more expensive skewers worth it?

How much do the little aero details matter to you? Do you have a slippery setup or does it not bother you to have wires and bento boxes all over the place?

What does sushi have to do with it? :P
Not that I have tried a lot of expensive ones (only Zipp) but I didn't notice a difference. My favorites are Mavic. Nice shape on the lever with lots of area so it's easy on the hands and a nice solid axle. Last for years. Sometimes the pin attaching the handle to pops out but that's easy to replace. If they're good enough to stand up to years of off road mtn bike abuse... :)

And a well-shaped bento probably does even better.
