What if I don't have quick release skewers? How do you know if your bicycle can use quick release skewers?

Your bike would have wheels that remove with the flip of a lever. You don't need to use( and can't use) the skewer if you have an older bike like I do. The bolts at the wheels center will fit right into the cups on the stand. My bike is 50 years old and I have no problems.

The quick release skewers typically are associated with the hub on the bike rim. The bike frame itself is a basic slotted metal frame so you should technically be able to use new rims with skewers which may not be a cost effective measure to use this product.

I use mine on a road bike. Many times Mtb skewers can be used on road bikes by simply cutting them down. Done it many times.

I'm using mine with a rode bike, the forks are open on the bottom and go down over the mount and then they are clamped into place. I don't use the skewer to mount the bike. I don't think it will work with your application, but the mfg. would be the best source for your answer.

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

Yeah, that should work. A skewer comes with the bike wheel, so you should be fine.

I'm in the same boat. Their listing doesn't indicate that it cannot be attached to a quick release wheel. My brother was trying to install it and what he found was that you would have to take the bike to a bike shop and have it modified for a cost of $50. or more. The quick release problem isn't mentioned until the very last sentence in the installation instructions. Good luck!!

Only if it has rear quick release wheel I bought one and I have not use it yet because my road bike does not have quick release wheel.good luck.

As long as you have quick release you can do it easily. If you don't, it will depend on your existing bolt diameter. My road bike works, so does my mountain bike. My mountain bike does not have quick release. You can modify the receiving bolt on the device itself to fit using a Dremel tool.

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.

I am using it on a single speed / fixed gear bike with a bolt-on track style rear wheel. The nuts and bolts of the rear axle fit into the cups on the trainer and it seems to work very well. I am not using a skewer.

The issue is not with the gears, but making sure that you can pull out the the axle and replace the quick release inside the axle hub. Otherwise, just make sure the measurement of the quick release matches your axle. If you're a professional biker with tools, you should be able to do it yourself, otherwise, I'd take it in to a bike shop.

Not an answer but further question: Does this work with quick release (QR) skewers as most new bikes have, including mine? Would I need a longer QR skewer to make it fit? Is the holding nut closed circular or open ended that you can slip onto QR skewer then tighten?

Since you have a bolt on axel I would assume that the axle is solid so the supplied skewer would not work, If it is take your bike to a good dealer and see if it will work.

You can go to your local bike shop and ask for a trainer skewer or find one on here. They aren't anything proprietary for this or most trainers. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0063R2XO0/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_rtsoub1ZEDSN2

My bike had no quick release either. It took about 3 minutes to install, just a good wrench set.

It would be very close. I think you would be better off getting shorter skewers.

I didn't keep the manual so I'm not 100% sure. But I believe you do need a rear quick release wheel. It comes with a skewer that fits the stand.
