Left my rws skewer for my Nukeproof mega in the car park yesterday at bonaly reservoir.
Since CRC and Nukeproof have not replied but I want to get out on the bike soon so I would like to source a replacement very soon.
Anyone know where I can get one, or an alternative?
I'm guessing [url= http://www.bike-discount.de/shop/a50512/rear-maxle-lite-135-x-12-mm.html?lg=en&cr=GBP ]this one[/url] will fit. Guessing mind.. .
What's the rws skewer? Is it the dt one that's like a thick qr with a ratchet handle on the end that you turn, rather than a cam system?
I don't think it is, as I think it will be more beefy, but Superstar do replacement rws skewers I think.
Standard 135 x 12mm Maxle or Maxle lite will fit also fit (and work better in my opinion) but are not cheap.
It's a maxle. I meant to try the one off my Wolf Ridge while I had both frames but forgot!
Yes its a dt swiss RWS axle that is standard on the mega. It simply screws into place, without the clamping action of a maxle.
I can find many dt swiss rws skewers in 12mm size but they are all 142mm and I need 135mm.
Like this?

Only got it in red, but cheap so you can get one to get you up & running...?
I'd recommend the Superstar one. I over tightened the DT one stripped the teeth off the lever, was going to replace like for like till I saw the price :/
If you plumb for the Superstar one don;t forget to take an 8mm allen key with you when you go riding
superstar link says it does not replace a maxle?
