9-mm Dummy Axle with Quick Release Handle for RockyMounts DriveShaft HM, DriveShaft SD Bike Carriers

(21)

$25.40

Question:

I have a Rocky Mountain Driveshaft HM, which is designed for bikes with through axles. I also have a bike with a standard quick release front wheel. I see that you sell a Rocky Mountain dummy axle that will allow me to mount the QR fork to the Driveshaft HM. However, it does not look like that setup will allow me to lock the bike to the rack. For that, would I need to purchase a separate locking quick release?

For the RockyMounts DriveShaft Track Truck Bed Bike Rack # RKY1086 that you referenced the Dummy Axle part # RKY1082 does allow you to transport a 9 mm skewer like you mentioned. This does bypass the lock of the rack so a locking skewer like part # RRRBCA022 would be what you need for this as well.
