[Closed] Where to get extra long rear QR for a Trek Remedy

Trek remedies using 135mm axles have an extra long rear skewer (210mm apparently though I haven't measured mine to check). The lever is damn small and uncomfortable to use so I wondered if anyone knew of another version that could be used instead? I'd ideally love a shimano shape lever but not sure if this is possible or not.

210???

Salsa and Hope do skewers for 170mm fat bubs.

I have just googled and see there are products on ebay.com, $37 posted though!

Just get a normal length Shimano skewer, and use the nut/cam/lever from that with the threaded rod from your existing skewer?

So the current skewer might just unscrew from the lever mechanism? I've no tried it yet.

I tried to unscrew the lever from the bar but even with the molgrips as tight as possible it wasn't budging.
