I hope it's okay to bump an old thread.
Looking online, I see QR axles, some I think up to 180 mm.
Hack saw. I may have used a Dremel tool with a cutting wheel as well, can't remember.
Bumping is generally not a good idea and results in people wasting their time reading a thread from 8 years ago. Next time you're better off starting a new thread.
