Short Product Summary
The Holdfast Skewer Adaptor lets a bike with an older quick-release fork load onto a carrier designed around a 15mm thru-axle clamp. It's for households running a mix of bikes, where one or more still use that older fork standard rather than a thru-axle.
Why This Product
A 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.
Key Features
- Drops into the thru-axle clamp – sits in place of a 15mm axle so a skewer bike can lock in
- Steel adaptor body – a durable part built to sit in the clamp trip after trip
- No tools needed to fit it – drop it in and secure the skewer by hand
- Works across a mixed bike fleet – the same carrier handles thru-axle and quick-release bikes with the adaptor in
Ideal For
- Households with a mix of bike axle types who don't want a separate carrier for the odd quick-release bike.
- Anyone lending out a thru-axle carrier for guest bikes since older bikes are more likely to still use a quick-release skewer.
- Carrying kids' bikes on an adult's thru-axle rack as these often still use quick-release forks.

Optional Fitment / Upgrade Notes
A couple of things to check first:
- Confirm your carrier clamps a 15mm thru-axle, since that's what the adaptor is shaped to sit inside.
- Check the bike you want to carry has a quick-release skewer fork, not another axle standard.
- Keep one adaptor in the boot if guest or kids' bikes are a regular occurrence.
