Subject: [CR]Using 126mm Skewers in 130mm Dropouts a Bad Idea?

I have collected two or three sets of Campy skewers made for 126mm-spaced wheels but now have only two bikes with 130mm spaced rear dropouts.

I've been using one set with (so far) with OK results, but ... Am I risking a big surprise by using the shorter skewers? Not enough thread?...

Thanks,
