Maybe this? It looks right. http://www.amazon.com/Blackburn-Trainer-Ultra-Release-Skewer/dp/B00NUG4OGM/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1416839887&sr=8-8&keywords=bike+trainer+skewer

The CopperHead will not work with thru axle skewers right out of the box. You will need either the Yakima 15mm or 20mm Fork Adapter depending on your axle size for your bicycle to work on the CopperHead.

I have a 9 speed Shimano cassett on them. I beleive anything close to that will work. Not sure about spacing. Skewers came with them. I am happy with them.

The bracket that goes on the bike is pocketed. So it depends on the width of the skewer nut. The pocket is about 0.850" in diameter and about 0.1" deep.

Mr. A,Unfortunately i do not have any experience with anything other than quick release on this machine (and on any of my bikes..U lock through rear wheel/frame).It does come with a quick release skewer which should take a minute or two to install.Sorry i can't be more help.

I purchased mine about a year before the 12/2011 review by DoctorG and my kit DID come with a skewer assembly. So it's possible it is no longer included. I used an old steel road bike with the trainer and had to swap in the new skewer as the existing one wasn't compatible with the mating assembly on the trainer. It's been a while since I used it but I got the impression that newer "standard" skewers are compatible with the trainer.

Maybe......There are different axle diameters and axle lengths. I would recommend going to a local bike shop. It's a $7 product on Amazon, but if you order the wrong one, it will take a week to replace with the proper quick release skewer. Even if your local bike shop charges $10-$15 for the skewer, I would pay the extra to make sure you get the proper one. You might even be able to talk the bike shop people into installing for you.

I ordered the wheel in February, and it came with the skewer and quick release in the hub. So far, the wheel is performing very nicely. My front wheel is a Weinmann, and has been on the bike, a 1980 Univega, for over 20 years, as I remember, with no problems.

I have no idea; it's best to check with a bike shop unless you know how to take out the old skewer and install this one. You can have mine for five bucks if you'd like - I was never able to use it and it's still in the package - just email me at farzad.fx at gmail.

That is the latest version and it comes with a skewer and a cone cup as listed on the Kurt Kinetic site. The riser ring is seperate. This is a great trainer.

Not an answer but further question: Does this work with quick release (QR) skewers as most new bikes have, including mine? Would I need a longer QR skewer to make it fit? Is the holding nut closed circular or open ended that you can slip onto QR skewer then tighten?

Works fine for my Trek (not 29) but w discs, should b no problem. It's basically just a skewer- I would be shocked if it didn't work w any bike

Its not unusual for a bike with a quick release tire to not fit in the trainers. Mine didn't either, but my sons bike did. It's an easy fix though. The skewer ( the nut and rod that hold the tire onto the bike), needs to be replaced for one that fits both your bike and the trainer. When I first heard I had to do that, I was really disappointed, thinking it was going to be a harder job then I could handle. But if you youtube "how to change a rear skewer", you'll find it its a really simple job. I ordered a new skewer from Amazon. The one I ordered is called CycleOps Trainer Skewer. Although I have read that others were able to go to a bike store to buy one. It took me about a minute to switch the skewers.

Go to a local bike shop that sells tools. That is how I got mine. There are a couple different styles of tools and you need to get the right one.

There is an AC Adapter for the Stride Trainer 380 specifically. I would go with that one. This one pictured here is for other models. Mine is a Power Spin 210U. Just type in Golds Gym Stride Trainer 380 and it will bring up the adapter right after the bike. Good luck!

Yes, it sure will. Just know that you will need to convert the rear wheel to a quick-release. The trainer does come with a skewer.
