STP rear hub help

[JayMac]

I am converting my geard 2007 STP to a single speed. The problem I ran into is that the Giant tensioner (Giant Bicycles Archive) wont allow me to reuse the wheel as the QR skewer is too short. What did Giant do from the factory on their SS specific bikes that they offered? The pics i found show much other than a nutted type rear axle. STP SS (2010) - Bikes | Giant Bicycles | United States

Thanks,
