I would like to buy a turbo trainer on eBay but I hear from the seller that the original qr skewer is lost. Dies this matter or will any skewer do? I am going to have a dedicated wheel for the turbo.

    I have an elite trainer and would only use the skewer that came with the turbo for this as it fits into and holds the bike as it should.
    This may be dependent on the turbo trainer but for instance a tacx skewer will cost you around £10 and Elite £6,
    Road Bike: Scott CR1 Pro - Ultegra 6700 and 3T carbon, Fulcrum 5 (will have to wait for the Chris King Hubs and 35mm sections)
    Road bike: Bianchi Via Nirone 7 - Ultegra 6600, Fulcrum 5

    MTB: Kona Five 0 2009 - Stolen 03/12/12

    +1 turbo skewers are steel and the ends made to fit the turbo use the right one for the machine
