Question:

Will the Rhino Rack Mountain Trail bike rack work with bikes that have through axle forks?

Expert Reply:

We do have a roof-mounted bike rack that works with thru-axle forks, but the Rhino-Rack you mentioned does not. What you can use instead is a rack from Kuat that works with 15 mm or 20 mm thru-axle forks, and even comes in your choice of colors:

- Black: Kuat Trio Roof Bike Rack # TR02

- Gray: Kuat Trio Roof Bike Rack # RU01

There are also adapters for thru-axle forks of other sizes, the 15 mm x 150 mm Thru-Axle Skewer # TRP15-150 and 12 mm x 100 mm Thru-Axle Skewers # TRFA12x100.

This rack has a 45 lb capacity, holds bikes with tires up to 4" wide, and weighs only 7 lbs so it's easy to handle. It also comes with a lock to secure your bike to the rack, and is simple to mount on your roof rack with its clamping system.
