Kinetic Traxle - Thru Axle

When I opened the box I could immediately see and then feel the great quality of this product. However, this initially turned to disappointment when I tried to install it and it didn't seem to fit. I then used my vernier calipers to measure the Traxle, my bike's thru axle and the inside diameter of my rear droputs/wheel and this seemed to confirm my disappointment.I then called Kinetic and was suggested to try installing the Traxle into the wheel and dropouts separately. And it fit both! So it turns out that it was "operator error" and that I didn't have alignment of the wheel and dropouts correct when I tried the installation (I'm not sure why my measurements were off as I tried to do so carefully).I have since put the bike with Traxle installed up on my dumb trainer and the setup works great. I will be using it for away races (I train with another bike on a smart trainer). I highly recommend the Traxle.One note to those that may seek a less expensive solution: Kinetic is a real machine shop. You should remember that you are installing a replacement axle into your dropouts that if not manufactured to high precision, could ruin the threads of your bike's frame. A high quality product is well worth the price.

Good price and it fit!

Works flawlessly on a 2020 Cannondale Synapse Disc. Local bike shop wanted $60 for the same thing. If you've got a 142.5 hub with a 12mm x 1.0/fine thread pitch, this is exactly what you need to adapt your thru axle to fit on your trainer. Granted, it's a little expensive for an aluminum rod that's threaded on one end, but it's well engineered and worked as designed. The tapered spacer fits perfectly into the non-derailleur side of the frame and prevents your expensive carbon fiber from being crushed or damaged. Plus, it's plenty strong for everyday use and doesn't add much weight - I think I'm just going to leave it in there permanently. Now if only they made this in a quick release version...

Bought for use on my cross bike with a 12x142 thru axle, for warming up at races. Works great. You need a 6 mm allen wrench for the non-drive side, then a 18 mm box wrench for the drive side. Although to be honest I imagine hand-tight would be fine for a 20-minute warm up like I do.Threading: be sure to choose the right threading. I bought medium, which is the Shimano standard (1.50 mm). Rock Shox (maxle) axles are coarse (1.75 mm thread pitch), and Syntace use 1.00 mm thread pitch (fine). So make sure you order the right threading. Other brands fit in to these categories as well, but you'll have to figure out yours (only other one I know is DT Swiss ratcheting 12 mm thru axle is 1.00 mm thread pitch).This lost a star simply because of the price - they know they've got you over a barrel, so they charge what they want. It is well made, no doubt, but should come in around $20-30.(I use it on a  Kinetic by Kurt Road Machine Indoor Bicycle Trainer , but I can't think of a reason why it wouldn't work on any brand of trainer.)

I bought this for use with an indoor trainer. The trainer itself is a little on the small side for my particular bike, but this thru axle fits PERFECTLY with the extra tapered spacer removed. They advertise that you should have no threads showing outside the nut, and it's perfectly flush on my bike.Install was easy. I recommend you compare the length of your stock thru axle with this to predetermine sizing, but it's easy as pie otherwise, and I can use my trainer now, too.

Bought this rather than significantly less expensive alternatives because I felt this would fit best. It does fit exactly right. There is a lot of force involved in this connection to the trainer when it's in use and I didn't want to risk a carbon bike to an alternative that only might fit pretty well.

Just bought a new Canyon Aeroad Disc. Bike is great but was slightly bummed to find the thru axles weren't compatible with my Cycleops Powerbeam Pro. I figured I was going to have to keep my old road bike around to accommodate inside riding (which is basically half the year in the Midwest). However, this product ended up being the perfect solution. Was easy to install and works great in the trainer (fit is much tighter relative to my old bike, but it works). No issues at all with use outdoors either. So nice knowing I don't need to hang onto 2 bikes.

It does exactly what it says it does. It's a little long for my Cyclops Fluid 2, but I can get the bike to fit with a 1.4" tire.That said, the price is absolutely absurd for what you get. It's two very simple turned parts that even with finishing and packaging probably cost Kinetic $6-8. There aren't even spacers with this kit - it's just a fancy bolt and nut. This is NOT a $50 part - it should be $25-30 at most. Heck, even the far more complicated DT Swiss RWS thru axles (which have a positionable lever) are $30-35.5 stars for functionality and quality, 1 star for value, so 3 stars it is.Note that this axle is for the Shimano standard - it fits my Pivot perfectly.

Funciona perfecto. Es el adaptador necesario para usar bicicletas con thru axle en rodillo entrenadores tradicionales. SI tienes rodillo de la marca Tacx, necesitas el que la propia marca vende. Si tiene otro rodillo, éste es el que te sirve. Es importante que revises el tipo de cuerda que tiene tu bicicleta. En mi caso compre el de cuerda mediana y funciona muy bien con las bicicletas LIV Avail AR.

I used this item on my BMS Timemachine 01 with older version of Tacx Flow trainer, works very well.this spindle is very good quality, the fit is great , and looks fantastic too.

Does exactly what I needed

Macht was sie soll und passt super. Dank dieser Steckachse kann ich mein Rennrad auf meinem Rollentrainer von "Elite" nutzen.

Ha ido fenomenal para una bicicleta que tiene una longitud de eje de 170 mm pues este mide 186 mm total y queda perfecto para un rodillo Garmin Tacx aun que para meterlo hay que forzar un poco pero es cosa del rodillo que no pensaron en usuarios de bicicletas con frenos de disco mas que conforme
