It's for households running a mix of bikes, where one or more still use that older fork standard rather than a thru-axle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy This Product\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA thru-axle carrier clamps around a 15mm axle, which is no help if the bike you're loading still has an older quick-release skewer. Rather than needing a second carrier for that one bike, the adaptor drops into the thru-axle clamp and gives the skewer somewhere to lock down, so the same carrier takes both axle types.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrops into the thru-axle clamp\u003c\/strong\u003e – sits in place of a 15mm axle so a skewer bike can lock in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteel adaptor body\u003c\/strong\u003e – a durable part built to sit in the clamp trip after trip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo tools needed to fit it\u003c\/strong\u003e – drop it in and secure the skewer by hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWorks across a mixed bike fleet\u003c\/strong\u003e – the same carrier handles thru-axle and quick-release bikes with the adaptor in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIdeal For\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHouseholds with a mix of bike axle types\u003c\/strong\u003e who don't want a separate carrier for the odd quick-release bike.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnyone lending out a thru-axle carrier for guest bikes\u003c\/strong\u003e since older bikes are more likely to still use a quick-release skewer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCarrying kids' bikes on an adult's thru-axle rack\u003c\/strong\u003e as these often still use quick-release forks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLocal Support from 4Matt Campers\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur \u003cstrong\u003eCape Town\u003c\/strong\u003e team can confirm which of your carriers this adaptor suits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Holdfast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 220406\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Holdfast 15mm thru-axle carriers and most aftermarket equivalents\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBike type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Quick-release skewer fork ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Steel adaptor body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOptional Fitment \/ Upgrade Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA couple of things to check first:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConfirm your carrier clamps a 15mm thru-axle, since that's what the adaptor is shaped to sit inside.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheck the bike you want to carry has a quick-release skewer fork, not another axle standard.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep one adaptor in the boot if guest or kids' bikes are a regular occurrence.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eComplete Your Setup\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSee the rest of our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/accessories\"\u003ebike carrier accessories\u003c\/a\u003e, or browse \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/roof-racks\"\u003eroof-mounted carriers\u003c\/a\u003e if you're carrying on the roof.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is this adaptor for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt lets an older quick-release skewer bike load onto a 15mm thru-axle carrier without needing a second rack.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need tools to fit it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo, it drops into the thru-axle clamp and the skewer secures by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it work with any thru-axle carrier?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's built for Holdfast 15mm thru-axle carriers and fits most aftermarket equivalents.
