OK, finally back to answer some questions. Sorry for the late response. Work, life, wife, etc.
Someone asked about it still being 126mm. I cold spaced the dropouts using RJ The Bike Guy's method. It comes in right at 130mm now.
I've uploaded two pictures. One of the dropout, one of the skewer end, mainly the side that does move. I can definitely see now, the skewer end has no real gripping mechanism. Smooth as can be. Of course it would allow the wheel to slide to the left.
amilo posted a picture of what I should be looking for. Skewers with teeth. Anyone got a good link to buy one?
