Hi
Be gentle-just getting back into mountain biking. So I am discovering that this Boost 141 is a bit of a pain. I want to change/upgrade my QR Skewers. Front I think Im ok(100mm*5mm) but the rear is this 141 Boost. Yip its a Trek. Contacted Trek and they only sell the stock skewers-but not online🙄. Ive weedled it out of them that the length is 158cm, but the guy wasn't 100% I think. Can anyone offer a suggestion re what skewer is suitable? Many Thanks
Martin and Alpkit booth use(d) Boost 141.
Sure it’s not available online?

Looks like Orbea make one too

Though none of them seem to offer anything more than OEM. Why do you want to change?
Why don't you measure the one you have?
I have a spare Trek skewer from their AVP back end (QR). That may be about the right length as it's longer than a std skewer. I'l measure it later.
isn't boost QR like 142 or something?? I seem to remember going down that rabbit hole with the Marin rigid plus bike that CRC were selling cheap. I have one in the garage and cant even remember the model !
(sorry ABP, not AVP)

its a boost hub with QR end caps. 141 is to 148, same as 135 is to 142.

A mate has one. Pine Mountain. It's a tank!
