Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 I am needing a specific length QR skewer.Can anyone suggest somebody who is able to make one up for me please?ThanksWhat you could do is get the required length measurement, take a rear QR skewer and take it to a machine shop, where they'll be able to cut it to size and put a thread on it for you...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 285mmOkay, scratch that plan... 285mm? You sure? What are you skewering?
Sepia Posted June 2, 2015 Author Posted June 2, 2015 Okay, scratch that plan... 285mm? You sure? What are you skewering?Yes, this is the correct length. New rack onto a Superfly.I know it sounds long but it is the actual requirement.
Sepia Posted June 2, 2015 Author Posted June 2, 2015 Have been to numerous engineering shops and they say it is impossible to make. (Too much work?) Cycle shops and known repair LBS workshops are unable to help either. Need one as soon as.Anyone?
Shebeen Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Yes, this is the correct length. New rack onto a Superfly.I know it sounds long but it is the actual requirement.wait. normal rear skewer is 135mm. so that's over double the length. what type of helium balloons are you mounting on this rack?!!

Its will cost you a few rands I can assure you that, but I reckon its doable. PM me and I will see if I can assist.
jimmycool Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 I would try a cut and paste job. We do it with drill bits quite often to extend them.
Sepia Posted June 2, 2015 Author Posted June 2, 2015 wait. normal rear skewer is 135mm. so that's over double the length. what type of helium balloons are you mounting on this rack?!!142mm + 2x20mm rack base plates + skewer endcaps = 285mm (can cut down to size)
V12man Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 142mm + 2x20mm rack base plates + skewer endcaps = 285mm (can cut down to size)How big exactly are those skewer end caps? 20mm? 142+40+20+20 = 225mm - not that close to 285 really.... Personally I would see if you can join 2 skewers - there are hubbers that can help with hi tech welding... once you have a final size.... on the basis of measure twice, cut once...
Shebeen Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 142mm + 2x20mm rack base plates + skewer endcaps = 285mm (can cut down to size)still sounds a bit excessive, but I believe you. here they only speak of an extra 10-15mm http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/za/en/adventure-longer-quick-release/rp-prod32848 your best purchase option will probably be through touring stores,
