Kinda scared to use it again, though!
Just in case, I was not saying the differences between the Mavic skewer and other skewers were imaginary (I had a DT skewer that drove me crazy), I was just responding to the suggestion of buying a CycleOps trainer skewer. Trainer skewers are pretty standard in my experience.
