[Through Axle Lip is shredded]

Pickwick Rd, Salt River.

 

Cool. I'll try come through after work today otherwise at 10am tomorrow. 

Do you know how much that new thru axle is going to set me back?

Is this a Specialized camber by any chance?

Just because you can fit some universal rack onto an A1 doesn't mean you should. There's a good reason Thule and Buzzrack don't make a boot rack to fit the A1. 

 

My 2c.

 

Agreed, I just thought maybe I got bad advise the first time around.

Definitely don't want to risk damaging my new Specialized Epic Comp.

Sorry just had to write what new bike I got. Whoop whoop! Minaar must watch himself, i'm coming for him....if I can get my bike to the travel head.

Here we go, this is your best bet. 

 

Will ratchet onto your car, I have done this on a friends A1. 

 

You can add some plastic, but i never did and had no issue. 

 

Its a platform rack so your bike will love you. 

 

You can lock it onto your car.

You get a lekker trip up the West Coast!

 

You rate this will work on the A1? Others in this post reckon it won't fit...

Hi....just curious..........why not a tow-bar?

 

Just a bit of mission just for a bike rack. Would prefer to get something that doesn't involve a bunch of garage work. Also pretty steep to install. 

 

Considering a roof rack as well maybe.

Bring it to me, I'll get it out for you. And show you how to install it properly so it doesn't get stuck again.

 

Or if you've got a 15mm allen key, you can strip the locking lever and wedge out and there's a hex socket you can turn it out with.

 

Hey Droo, thanks for the offer.

Where are you based?

I'm looking for a plug and play bike rack for my Audi A1.

I was told that Thule don't make a rack for my car.

I really don't want to put a tow bar on my car just for my bike and also can't fit my 29" bike in the car even with the seats down.

 

Any one got a solution? or anyone with an A1 got a bike rack that worked for them?

I recently purchased a second hand bike with a rockshox reba 15mm through axle. 

I didn't notice when I bought it that the lip of the axle was shredded and now I can't remove the wheel.

 

Any suggestions on a good fix?

Should I just replace the axle or is there a way to fix it?
