[Closed] Stiffening up a Qr 135mm rear end?

Looking for the best way to stiffen up the rear end on my 2010 Enduro. Only let down on an otherwise faultless bike. Can't change the dropouts so guess I'm stuck with a non-standard skewer....question is which one? I have King ISO disc hub on there btw if that makes a difference to my options?

I've previously done something similar on a FS bike by using a DT Swiss 10mm RWS skewer ( which fits normal vertical dropouts) but requires 10mm adaptors on the rear hub (i've done this on DT Swiss hubs and Hope hubs - don't know about Kings though)

Not a huge difference but noticeable (stiffer) when riding

Try the CK Fun-Bolts, not cheap for what they are but they made a difference to my old Tracer.
Winstanleys have them with 20% off, not in stock but they usually got hold of CK pretty quick. That price is cheaper than what you'd pay in the US!

10mm bolt-through or bolt-in? Not sure it made much difference in mine, then it wasn't lacking in stiffness anyway, maybe it'd be more apparent in a bendy bike.
