Can A 15mm Thru Axle To 5mm Quick Release Skewer Fit Into The Rhino-Rack XTray Pro Cargo Basket?

Question:

Hello, I was thinking that I could use a product like this velofuze thru-axle 15mm adapter to standard 5mm quick release skewer. on the 15mm thru axle mount on the RMCB03 fork mount so that I could mount my bikes with quick release forks. Is there any reason this would not work? Thanks!

Since we have not tested that product, I cannot say for sure if it will work or not. However, I do not see a reason why you couldn't use a 15 mm to 5 mm adapter since the Rhino-Rack XTray Pro Cargo Basket and 2 Bike Carrier # RRRMCB03 has the built-in 15 mm x 100 mm thru axle mount that the adapter should fit into.

Also, this Rhino-Rack XTray basket does come with a threaded quick release skewer and you can get various adapters to fit your particular bike. I attached a link to the various thru axle adapters that are available.
