Any bike shop can order them for you. The quick release is a hybrid. I bought a DT tandem skewer, removed the skewer shaft from it and a plain black road rear I had and swapped them. If we were a lighter team I would consider the Revolutions, but at 350 pounds plus the bike weight, I did not want to push the envelope too far. These have now become our standard everyday ride wheels, I would say we are pretty happy with them.

Where did you get the 10mm of alu spacers for the non-drive side of the rear axle? Also, where did you get a QR the right length? Are you still happy with the wheels? Would you consider using DT Revolution spokes if you did it again? Thanks. Hi.
