Loading my new bike on my trailer

[Newboy]

I load my bikes on my trailer when traveling. The standard jobbie where you take out the front wheel and there is a quick release on a gutter on top of the trailer.

Problem is my new bike has got a through axle. Do you get a mounting for this? What do you do with the wheel as it won't work in the current rack.

google is your friend - http://www.singletracks.com/blog/mtb-gear/how-to-transport-your-modern-mountain-bike-with-yakima-racks/

 

Dunno of local stockists but take this to an engineering place and have them make one for you. Call a few LBS's and see if they have anything for you.

'You could rig your forks up with a QR. Check out Marzocchi, they have a 20mm QR that you could just slide through your hub and fork. I prefer the safety of the through axle when doing drops and jumps.'

These are the licensed manufacturers - Fork Up - actually quite easy to make really.
