Yakima Mountain Bike 12×100 Thru-Axle Fork Conversion Adapter

The Yakima Thru-Axle Fork Adapter bridges modern bike technology with legacy rack systems, offering road cyclists a seamless upgrade solution. Designed specifically for 12x100mm thru-axle frames (common in carbon road bikes), this adapter transforms any traditional 9mm QR-style bike mount into a compatible system without permanent modifications.

Engineered for durability with a powder-coated steel construction (4″L x 4.5″W x 1″H), it withstands highway vibrations while maintaining a featherlight 0.7lb profile – crucial for maintaining aerodynamic efficiency during transit. The integrated safety retention tabs prevent accidental dislodging even on bumpy terrain, addressing common concerns about axle security during long rides.

Ideal for cyclists upgrading from mechanical disc brakes to hydraulic systems requiring thru-axles, this adapter supports multiple Yakima roof racks and third-party carriers with standard 9mm interfaces. Its universal design accommodates both road and gravel bikes with compatible axles, making it a versatile solution for multi-bike households.

Key advantages over competitors:
• Precision-machined fitment ensures zero play during transport
• Weather-resistant coating protects against road salt and UV exposure
• Compact profile maintains rack space efficiency
• Meets ASTM D3190 standards for structural integrity

Perfect for touring cyclists needing rack compatibility across different bike models or those renting equipment abroad where thru-axle standards vary. Installs in seconds without tools – simply slide onto existing fork mount and secure your bike with confidence.
