Not directly answering your question but the Tune mtb TT skewers had just enough thread to work with the thin tabs on my thm fork and R5ca dropouts. I cut off about 3mm on each.

They're supposed to come with 2 sets of ends, some thin ones for 135 mtb, and thicker ones for 130 road.
The front has 2 sets as well. So which end set to use also depends on your dropout thickness.
The stock U20s are long enough for just about any frame.

BTW, if you trim the alloy threads down past a few mm, you risk exposing the carbon center.
But the threads are securely glued anyway. Best to leave the threads as is, and use the thicker ends.

OK thanks but goal is to have lighter product as possible( so it is why i want to shorten rear one and use small end) and I can have very good price but only on mtb version
