Wanted: QR for Tandem

try giving USE or Hope a call, I'm sure they would make some for you of
that length.

I have finally got round to finishing respacing the rear triangles of
our tandems to take the nice Shimano tandem hubs I bought at the York
Rally. The problem is I now need a 145mm OLN skewer for one of the
rear wheels (the old one was 135mm and too short). A quick Google has
drawn a blank. Does anyone know where they can be bought or have one
(pref Shimano) they would be willing to sell?

Thanks

Tony

Surely your LBS (if you have such a thing) will order one for you, won't
it? Failing that, there are plenty of on-line tandem specialists,
although the postage might be a nuisance for the US-based ones that we
tend to use these days.

Yes I have one or two LBS but these days I buy mainly on-line and was
surprised to find none of the usual suspects, including SJSC who sell
the tandem hubs, had them listed. Google didn't help either.

the Old Man Mountain skewer is certainly long enough, try Carradice

Maybe not sufficiently high-volume to get on the website, but I bet they
would get you one if you phoned them. I generally prefer pure on-line /
email purchasing too, but when push comes to shove...
