The VO site states that the skewers will fit 130-135mm. I am reasonably sure they will meet your needs. I modified a 130mm Shimano rear hub to 135mm and was able to use the original skewer with no problem. My skewers are silver but the adjustable end cap is black. Matches my saddle, cables, rear rack, brake hoods, and tire tread. Yay black.
