    Hello!

    I decided to get back on the turbo as I have already reached my winter weight and still haven't even started eating mince pies yet :pac:

    I am missing the skewer for it, I looked on CRC, but they don't seem to have the ones with the 2 srew'ish looking ends on quick release.

    Do you have any idea where I can find that ??

    Cheers !!!!

    A set? It's just one you need, for the back. There's no reason to change the front one. I don't think they sold you Turbo skewers...

    edit: will this not do you Caroline? What sort of trainer have you?

    Not necessarily - the turbo mountings might not be able to grip standard skewer nuts correctly, or worse still might damage them.

    Caroline,

    Since I don't have a trainer, I'm not sure how specialised the skewers are but I rebuilt my rear wheel last week after the hub broke and I now have a spare rear skewer (130mm). If it's any use to you, it's yours.
