Boost QR Skewers
Just picked up a Cannondale Cujo 1 this past weekend and I'm now building out my repair kit for it. I wanted to get a backup skewer for the Boost QR rear hub but can't seem to figure out what exactly I need. Do either of the two below work for me?

If not, what should I be looking for? Am I overthinking this and any 135mm skewer will work?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Pretty sure you need a 141x9 skewer for the rear. Honestly I wouldn't worry too much till ya find one, it's not been common for me at least to need a new QR and definitely not a thru axle. I think I've bought one of each over a decade.

No, not any 135mm will work.
Edit: the Cujo 2 spec page lists 141mm the Cujo 1 oddly enough just calls out boost QR while not listing the measurement (aka 141mm)
Thanks!
I didn't think that it'd be that hard to find a 141mm skewer but I'll take you advice about not worrying about it. I guess I'll wait until they become more readily available here.
