Thru Axle Fork Adapter

7 years ago

This product works great in order to adapt my Thru - axle bike to a carrier that is made to carry a fork. Be certain to check whether you need a 12 mm or 15 mm adapter.

Worked great

1 year ago

This is exactly what I needed to convert my Yakima fork-mount bike rack to a thru-axel. Saved me a lot of money, but this piece of metal is overpriced. Make sure to google the specs for your bike model and select the appropriate size.

Not quite wide enough. Almost dropped the bike

7 years ago

The width is a bit short so that both sides of my Surly Krampus axle did not rest on the lip. It is very hard to balance the bike with one hand and thread the axle through the fork and get it fastened. One side slipped off of the adapter and the bike just about fell on the roof of the car. There are other options where you re-attach the axle to the fork once the wheel is removed, and then lift the bike onto the car. This gives you a stable support for the front end when finishing the attachment. I returned this unit. Also, the width of the original adapter I purchased was miss labeled. I had to return that one to REI and purchased the correct width elsewhere. If you purchase check the width before you take it home.

Expensive solution to a bad design

I use a piece of PVC tubing instead. It fits perfectly.
