Love Robert Axle Project. They are THE go to guys to get you set up for an axle attached trailer hitch as well.replaced my quick release axles with standard ones, these robert axle parts are an exact match except for not having the lever. nice fit, cleaner look, and i never take the wheels off except for maintenance. also saved 59 grams.
no - that wasn’t my primary motivation!

Hi Raphael, I’ve gone through the same search the past couple of weeks and returned zilch except in the case that you buy a Thule rooftop fork mount rack (the latest) which comes with the adapters. However it was quite easy to find aluminum tubing with 15mm OD and 12mm ID which could then be cut to
It may very well be the case that fork spacing is 104mm and bolt shaft length is 110mm - I’m still hypothetical at this point because my bike is yet to be delivered. Either way you’d have to cut the 15mmx12mm tubing to that length to make a bushing. Honestly though the wood block is a fantastically simple and good idea if it’s traveling inside the van. No need to fix if it ain’t broke. My application was rooftop where I needed close tolerances and a snug fit to prevent damage from wind resonance and vibrations.
I use a pair of Rockymount Hot Rods to secure our Creos in the back of our Volvo and purchased composite wall panel tracks and locally sourced hardware to fabricate this compact and ultralight in-car bike rack. The length and ID of the aluminum sleeves is 15 x 110mm but once the thru axle is tightened down in place the bikes ride solidly without moving. I’ve employed this system for over a year now without any issues. Although not absolutely necessary, I also tie down the bikes using the vehicle's cargo tether points. The rear wheels are also cinched down on DIY wheel trays made from excess material that I cut from the track panels.
How would you do that? Thinner cranks? Or some method of reducing the separation of the pedals and cranks. Would that create problems of the inside of the foot/shoe hitting the cranks?
Q too high can cause issues for some people. Too narrow can cause issues for other people as well, of course, but that's not a problem that Creo is going to cause, since it's very wide. Your feet, knees, and hips should all be aligned. Any angle to that system adds stress and increases the risk of repetitive stress injury.
i moved my cleats outward (thus moving my feet inward), wondering if narrowing the Q would be good given that it’s so wide. just created a lot of rubbing on the cranks. my bike fitter chuckled and moved them back.
That's what DREMEL is made for!!! Narrow that crank arm - strength be damned!
