How do you get the bike with thru axle onto the roller?
Robert Axle Project once again recommends itself as a utility value enhancer for thru-axle bikes: Having established a firm position in the market with trailer-compatible thru-axles, the American company is now expanding its range with a special thru-axle for home trainers. If this is fitted to the rear wheel instead of the original axle, the mountain bike or racing bike can be easily clamped into the axle mount of a roller trainer, which is actually only designed for classic axles with a quick release and lock nut on the opposite side. For comparatively little money, a bike athlete can continue to use their existing roller trainer with their latest bike.
Quickly convert and never swap again
The highlight of the roller trainer-compatible thru axle is that it is extremely straightforward: it can be attached to the bike with a standard 5 millimeter Allen key. And if the bike is needed on the road and off-road again, only the trainer attachment on the right-hand side needs to be unscrewed, the axle remains on the bike and ensures full functionality when riding.
Available just in time for the winter training season
The roller trainer-compatible thru axle from Robert Axle Project fits all standard 12mm thru axles in the dimensions 12x135mm, 12x142mm and 12x148mm with the supplied spacer sleeves. This means that thru-axle bikes can be used with most roller trainers from popular brands such as Tacx, Elite, Kinetic, Bkool or Cycleops. The useful winter training aid is now available in this country at the recommended retail price of 89 Swiss francs from the general importer Vitelli Velobedarf.
An axle finder is also available on the manufacturer's website, which can save you a lot of headaches if, for example, you want to attach a trailer to your mountain bike. By selecting the bike manufacturer and the application - such as the trailer or training wheels etc. - you can find the right product. - You can find the right product.
