its not a quick release
and the bolt thing is 7 inches long
where can i buy a new one?

if you need pic just ask
 
Shimano XTR mountain bike skewers (quick release) sell for 45 usd aprox.
The measurements you find most often is that of 135mm for mountain-bikes and 130mm for road-bikes. They are based on the bicycle frame measurements and not on the axles measurements.
Please someone correct me if i'm wrong,
 
thanks for the advice i looked them up
and they are a lot more expensive then i thought they would be @_@
so i looked up bike stores in the area
i thought didn't have any around but apparently i was wrong
so i got a spare axle off of a bike that got ran over or something
it was almost free so im happy
agian thanks for your help
im glad i could find somebody on the internet that could/wanted to help me!
