Replacement skewer for Elite Crono Fluid ElastoGel Trainer

[NJ150]

The bike I was using for my turbo was stolen from the front of my house and consequently the skewer and trainer tyre also went with the bike. I have managed to get a new tyre with no problem but I can't get hold of a new skewer anywhere. Wiggle have said they don't sell them and that I need a specific type (rounded head) to fit into my trainer. There seems to be no contact details on the website for Elite (Italian company) so I can't follow that route either.
Does anyone have any ideas to help me find a replacement?

Hi and welcome to the forum.
The skewer on the standard Elite trainer i use looks to be very similar to this one

I'll have a look at home to see if I have one of them still

Broady, that would be amazing, thank you. If I can get one that is specific to Elite I would be really happy. I understand this may not be possible though so will keep all options open for a bit. If you do manage to find one please let me know what you want for it and the postage. Keeping everything crossed. NJ

Nibor, thanks for the link, unfortunately they don't have any in stock at the moment but I'll certainly keep my eye on them.

Think they must have been on the wheels of one of my bikes I've sold recently, sorry.

I have the same turbo and got a new QR skewer of Ebay. I'm sure one of these lot will fit - https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_...RS0&_nkw=quick+release+skewers+turbo&_sacat=0

Thanks, Mr Grieve. I've ordered one. Let's now hope it fits. Thanks for your help

Dear all who responded. Thanks for your help. I bought one of the skewers as recommended by Mr Grieve and it fits a treat. I have now managed to pick up a lovely Carrera road bike as a replacement for the bike that was nicked and I have to say it's so much better than the old one. I'm almost grateful the other one went walkabouts as the new one is delightfully easy to change gear on and I have a full range of 24 gears not just 6! Thanks again for your help.NJ
