100mm and 135mm. Anyone got any in the spare parts box that they'd not like too much cash for? Please

Nah - I assume you refer to the sub standard rear skewer I have on now and needing to clamp in the hail - though I wouldn't wanna try to manage clamping/unclamping in such conditions... I just want it to go with the rear xtr mech and xtr (not sure if it happens to everyone) makes me rather happy...

Don’t blame you for the sentiment, when running my rohloff I tried many ‘high end’ skewers, all slipped except XT and XTR.

Fair enough. I actually forgot I had them (or at least I have a rear for sure). If I can't find any xtr for aesthetics (eye of beholder and all that) then I might just pop the Salsa on. Thanks for the reminder FTK...
