You saw we went through this 19 months ago and I posted all the skewers.
But all my horizontal dropout road frames had mild steel drop-outs and serrated washers on the hubs - with steel axles.

The Venge has 2-3mm of carbon next to the hanger. I'm not sure it can take all the crushing pressure of a steel shaft DA or Campy internal CAM can put out.

I also don't know how much the hub axle can take. I'm sure you've adjusted cone bearings so the QR takes just the right amount of play out when clammed. It is a different system.
