Bike Fork Mount for Roof Rack Trunk Bed QR Bike and 12mm 15mm Thru Axle

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Works great for my carbon fork gravel bike. I also was able to buy a 12x9mm aluminum sleeve to use this with my older quick release bike.

I made bike racks for my pick-up truck by mounting these on 2x6 boards that fit into slots in the bed of my truck. I've used them for years now. They work great.

My new bike has a 110mm x 15mm (Boost) thru axle. Before bolting this down to the bike mount in my van I tested this just to be sure it fit both the axle (fork mount inside length and diameter does fit my axle well) and that the outside fork mount length correctly fit the fork width, and that the outside diameter of the round part of the fork mount fit into the recesses at the bottom of my fork legs properly so that I could easily set my fork down onto this fork mount and then re-install the axle. Everything fit perfectly. It is very easy to use.I have no opinion on the supplied mounting hardware because I was installing this in place of an existing 9mm quick release type fork mount and I reused the old machine bolts and nuts that were exactly sized to work with my situation. The mounting holes were exactly the same size as those on my old QR fork mounts. The package did come with a selection of both screws and nuts and bolts.I have other fork mounts for my bikes that use 9mm quick releases, and this one is just very slightly taller. I consider that a plus because I have mounted bikes on my other fork mounts that the disk brakes just barely cleared the mounting surface under the fork mount. This one has slightly more vertical clearance from the bottom of the mount to the axle centerline.

These were easy to install and seemed adequate for their planned use. Then the trailer they were in and the bikes attached were all stolen - and recovered. During the theft, the bikes and mounts were subject to quick acceleration and then braking, then the thieves tried to pull on the bikes themselves. One mount had bent legs and a bent tube but the axle was removable. The other still has the thru axle stuck in it because it deformed enough that cutting tools are probably going to be necessary. I realize that the theft and damage are the fault of the thieves, that being said these have proven to be somewhat soft in structure.I would recommend these for light duty with no hesitation. But I will be going with something stronger now. I don't intend to put my bike mounts through a lot of intense forces, I do go to backcountry trailheads down bump roads and a vehicle accident is always possible anywhere in the world. Having seen the results of this unfortunate theft incident, I will be upgrading to hinged thru mounts with a more robust structure. Hinges for quicker access and tighter installations where I don't need space to slide the axle in and out. Stronger build to hopefullly prevent structural failure and damage to bikes or axles.

Works perfectly! It's simple and strong. Better than having to keep track of adapter bushings if you only need one size of fork.

The media could not be loaded. Dirt cheap and absolutely perfect. Felt compelled to share with my fellow bikers.

Needed a solid mount for a thru-axle bike -- mine is 12mmx100mm -- and this looked like the one. Good choice! Nice aluminum extrusion, very clean machining, tough finish, useful mounting holes, and accurately sized. The mounting is accurately centered -- just set the fork in place and screw in the axle. Feels super secure. It has a couple of holes for a moderate sized lock, but I have not used those and probably won't.The mount taken up residence screwed to the plywood floor in my van -- photo #1. Used two of the included screws, and used the third mounting hole to hold a 6mm hex key so it won't get lost. (17/64 drill bit worked great for drilling the hole to fit.) Even the included mounting hardware is top-shelf -- photo #2. Nice enough that the rest goes into the bins to keep.Simple design, well done, and reasonably priced. The type of thing you recommend to friends! Hope this was useful and helpful.

I didn’t want to put a $5000 mountain bike on the back of my camper van. So I was very pleased to be able to use this mount which cost $15.99 to professionally hold my mountain bike under the bed in my van. The product has excellent machining comes with all of the mounting hardware that is needed and fits perfectly. The height is perfect so that the front disc brake caliber does not touch the floor. is very stable. I highly recommend this product. It’s much cheaper to put the expensive mountain bike inside the vehicle, then to have it stolen off of a expensive rack on the back of the vehicle.
