Help me hunt the elusive TACX Skewer...
Quote | Reply
I have this great TACX swingforce trainer. Trouble is, I have 2 bikes, not to mention the one my significant other rides, and I am tired of switching the TACX supplied skewer between all three. So, I figure I'll just order a couple of these skewers, right?

Wrong.

Nobody in the US (that I can find) has them. I even called colorado cyclist, and not only don't they have them, they cannot even special order them for me! You'd think a TACX dealer would be able to get me spare parts. I can get them from the UK, but that will cost as much in shipping as it does on the parts.

Anyone know where I can get these things stateside?

I'm not sure what the computrainer skewer looks like. Are they squared off at both ends, or some kind of wierd tapering thing?

Hard to tell, but it looks rounded off a bit, no taper.

I can let you know better what it looks like when it comes in the mail.
