The flangediamëter of the #202 timetrial hub is 1.56" (or 1.5" which failed), the heavy duty #201 measures 1 7/8"

If you do the skewers up tight the pin falls out. I've filed flats on mine. To use in horizontal dropouts I fitted a filed nut plus short M8 allan bolt as a stopper to keep the wheel in
