[#1892996]

I am looking to buy some XTR M970 skewers like these [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=34638 ]XTR Skewers[/url]

I thought that mtb skewers were 100mm front and 135mm rear, but the XTR ones are listed as being different sizes - 133mm front, 168mm or 173mm rear

I'm basically after a front and rear to go on a standard axle Chris King hubs.

Any ideas? 😕

You'll want the first two, 133 and 168. The shorter lengths you mention are the gaps between drop-out faces.

That's perfect, thanks for the info 8)

Just out of interest......

What would the 173mm be used for?
