Wheel skewers ~14cm

Post by belgiangoth »

The front QR skewers on my tadpole trike are longer than standard front hub skewers and shorter than road rear skewers. What sort of size is 14cm and where does one get them from?
If I had a baby elephant, I would put it on a recumbent trike so that it would become invisible.

14cm is presumably the total skewer length? I suggest you measure the distance between the clamping surfaces, i.e. the equivalent of the Over Locknut Dimension. I suspect a skewer made for a 130mm road rear hub might be suitable.
