Tre Posted June 9, 2020 Share Good day guysManaged to source a Giant cyclotron trainer only to find out that my TREK emonda has a thru axle and not a skewer that's trainer friendly.Spoke to many LBS and some said that its impossible to use a thru axle on the said trainer and others just didnt have a clue (no problem as we all are lifelong students)So I googled long and hard to find that some companies in America saw the gap and are now making thru axles to fit bicycle with 'knurls' at the end to fit the trainersMy question is, have any of you guys experienced this and found out a local solution? Prices for these thru axle adaptors as of today were around the R1300 mark from THE ROBERT AXLE PROJECTAny feedback will be highly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThanksYes, that would work, I bought the same thing for my Tacx trainer. Note that you may have to grind down the one side (appears to be a common issue).
