I'm looking to replace the quick release skewers with one that has a hex nut or a security nut. Does anyone have any recommendation on a set of skewers to replace the quick release ones? The cheaper the better. All the skewers that I found has the front min length at 90+mm. It looks like the front fork from outside to outside is only about 85mm (I don't know how it should be measured, so, I hope I'm measuring it correctly).

Ask here.

Maybe a skewer like that (bought locally) can be cut and re threaded like a spoke can if nothing is awailable?

I bet somebody is selling it in the far east but not sure how to find it.

Maybe something here that you can use: https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/skewers-dept797_pg1/


Edit: For Brompton. Should fit the Dahon too: https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/schmidt-a...ubs-prod19064/

SJS cycles have both Dahon and Brompton allen key skewers (I know because I ordered both a couple of weeks ago). Neither are expensive. I ended up using the somewhat more compact Brompton skewer.
Couldn't see any difference in length between them.

Nice!

You can get a longer skewer threaded further up, too.. then cut.
