Question:
Will the Thule BedRider Truck Bed Bike Rack work with a 12mm thru axle on a Lynskey gravel bike? If an adapter is required, will it have a lock? If not, other choices for a bed mount? Thank you

Expert Reply:
We do have a rack that will work with your 12mm thru axle bike but the Thule Bed Rider # TH822XTR isn't the best option for you. I would get the Swagman Patrol 2 # S64701 and then the 12 mm Thru-Axle Adapter # S64718. This set up will lock your bikes keeping them secure. I like these type of racks because you can remove it from the bed whenever you're not using it unlike bolt on racks like the Kuat DirtBag # DRT15.
I've included a video to show you the Patrol 2 in action!
