I have a 29 inch mountain bike with 11:1 gear ratio. Is the skewer long enough to replace my quick release?

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.

The outside dimension of the frame where my axle mounts is 5-13/16'' and it fits perfectly. I don't know the dimensions of your frame. The skewer on this has a lot of threads but it is at its max with my frame. Hope this helps. ME

Skewer only works on bikes with a hollow axle. The pictures I saw of Diamondback Tess 24 show solid axles front and rear. The specs for this bike also state "nutted" which indicate a solid axle. If you're thinking you can convert to quick release by simply purchasing this product -- it's not that easy. You'll also have to replace the solid axle with a hollow one. However, if you have a broken skewer that came from a hollow axle already on the bike, this product should be good as a replacement.

8 speed works fine on mine, came with skewers, spacing works on my 1999 Diamondback Topanga that came with 8 speed. Good wheels, used for several hundred miles of loaded touring, plus some technical singletrack and no problems.

You do not have to have a skewer. I bought it for my girlfriend and we both have 26 inch wheels but different setups on our rear axles. Both bikes work fine as the rods extend on the bike trainer itself. Hope this helps.

Its not unusual for a bike with a quick release tire to not fit in the trainers. Mine didn't either, but my sons bike did. It's an easy fix though. The skewer ( the nut and rod that hold the tire onto the bike), needs to be replaced for one that fits both your bike and the trainer. When I first heard I had to do that, I was really disappointed, thinking it was going to be a harder job then I could handle. But if you youtube "how to change a rear skewer", you'll find it its a really simple job. I ordered a new skewer from Amazon. The one I ordered is called CycleOps Trainer Skewer. Although I have read that others were able to go to a bike store to buy one. It took me about a minute to switch the skewers.

Ya you should be fine. I have an old schwinn I put it on and its only a 5 speed but it also is only 14-28 teeth and there looks to be plenty of room for an extra gear

It has one that fits most normal cycles - thin tire. For mountain bikes you don't need the skewer

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!

When I ordered mine it came with a replacement skewer to use with the KKR Machineinstead of the stock one.So your bolt would not be used at all.

As far as I can tell, only axles that utilize quick release skewers are compatible with the Kurt Kinetic skewer. It might be worth checking with your local bike shop to see if they could modify your hub to use a quick release skewer or you could consider replacing your whole rear wheel assembly with a used or otherwise economical unit. I have put over 400 miles on my Road Machine with no problems at all. Good luck!

My bike has the quick release clamp. I think a clamp with a carriage bolt and nut will work.

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.

What is your main concern regarding the fit? im not too familiar with fat bikes. im assuming if your fat bike has a standard quick release skewer, it should work. the trailer comes with 2 quick release skewers and 2 bolt on nuts (if you have bolt on skewers). The hitch forks that connect to the skewers on your bike spread out (so you should have room width-wise with a wider tire). Hope this helped. Any other questions, let me know.

I believe that the skewer intended for the rear wheel is longer. You may need a spacer if the threading isn't enough but it should work.

I used these on my quick release wheels. Just took out the quick release skewers and used these!
