One of the nuts on the end of my Bob quick release fell off. Can I buy Bob Nutz to replace it or will I have to buy a whole new skewer? All of the information I've read indicates the Bob Nutz are only for bikes without quick releases. If so, what size do I need? I have the Standard Bob quick release. I've attached a picture to show what is missing. The part between the two black lines where the trailer hitch slides over has fallen off.
Thanks in advance!

Since you are in Boise, Try contacting them direct. They are now based in Boise.

Thanks for all of the responses.

Just to update everyone, I contacted BOB directly and they are mailing me some replacement bobbins for free. I have to say, I'm very impressed with their customer service.

Awesome,

I've heard that about them, but its still nice to hear that some companies still believe in customer service.
