The provided skewer is about 1/8" in dia. compared to the 5/16" bolt that I removed from very "normal" bicycle. It doesn't work. What am I missing?

I would try loading your bike onto the rack with your existing bolt to see if that worked instead of using the one they provide

You may have to replace the skewer, I bought one for $10 at local bike shop as the one that came on the bike was too large to fit into quick release. When replacing lock the rear brakes on the bike and remove/insert the skewer, then the chain will not move.

Yes , once I installed it on both my bikes I have never taken it off! I got two stock skewers for sale, lol!!:)

I am using the skewers on Suntour XC Pro hubs. The front is 100mm over locknut distance and the rear is 135mm over locknut distance.

Ya, there's a little flexibility. I haven't measured exactly how much, but I should think that a 1 inch dia bar would be perfect. If I'm not mistaken, I believe that's what my bicycle handles were too.

Mr. A,Unfortunately i do not have any experience with anything other than quick release on this machine (and on any of my bikes..U lock through rear wheel/frame).It does come with a quick release skewer which should take a minute or two to install.Sorry i can't be more help.

While it is probably heavier than the skewer that's on your bike now they're exactly the same when it comes to the function they perform. The only real reason I can think for swapping them out would be if you're gram counting or need the extra bling.

does "skewers" mean the kind that have levels that you can close to tighten? I'm pretty sure that's the kind that I have, and it works perfectly. the device is just a circular thing that goes on the axle, and the connection for the cart is below that, so its pretty straightforward and i think you'll be fine

I'm sorry Ms McCreary but this item was given away as a christmas gift so I am unable to measure the skewers. I am waiting for the recipient to give me feedback so that I'll know if I will purchase another one for myself.

Yes it does. I use both types of bikes on my Viper mount. Just have to make a simple adjustment on the skewer by turning it in or out.

My brother put mine on my bike, so I called him with your question. He said my wheels came with an extension and the bolt we took off fit it. He did have to go home and get a selection of washers because the one they had was too thick. If your washer doesn't fit, can't you get one at a hardware store or a bike shop. Look at your paper work and see what is included on the packing list. Maybe the company left something out,.

Yes, the way it works is you remove the rear skewer from your bike and use the skewer included and that fits into the mounting clamps.

I'm guessing...perhaps 1/3". They work very well on everything I've used them on. They have become my favorite skewers and are well make. For a very large chunk of meat, you might want a wider one.

I don't have calipers handy, but I straight up swapped it out for standard skewers in 2 Trek mountain bikes, so I am reasonably sure it is standard 5mm.

The bike skewer on the ForkLift works just like the skewer on your quick release wheel - use the thumb screw to get it close then 'cam' down the lever - be careful not to over tighten!

the bolt supplied was to short for my bike so i got another bolt 1.5 inches longer with 9/16" drive

Im not sure what your stripping, large or small wire? I have found that manually pulling the wire through the stripinator works very well. I believe the next model up is geared up for an electric, battery drill. the large crank is bolted on and does come off, a half inch chuck would probably fit, but go with the next model up if you want to use a drill. side note, unless your doing this with a second person to feed the wire I think your better off with the crank.
