Adapter Thru Axle for mounting bike racks or trailers
The ORTLIEB Thru Axle M6-Connector has an integrated M6 thread on both sides. The axle is therefore the perfect solution for mounting pannier racks on bike frames without an integrated thread. This axle can replace your rear wheel axle installed by the manufacturer up to 180 mm axle length and can therefore be used almost universally. The adapter axle can be adjusted to the required length using the spacers supplied.
Product features:
- Optimized for mounting the ORTLIEB Quick-Rack L and XL
- High load capacity and payload
- Replaces the previously installed rear wheel axle (up to 180 mm shaft length)
- Various spacers to adjust the length
- Conical spacer for X12 axles
- Compatible with SRAM UDH/Transmission
- Integrated M6 thread on both sides
- The axle is tightened using an 6 mm Allen key
- Also suitable for mounting trailer couplings
- Made in Germany 🇩🇪
