So you decided to go with the Thule FastRide. So as you know, this is going to be out of the box for your fork-mounted bike racks. But if you do have a Thru Axle bike, and you want to convert it over, we have a kit that you can buy separately to make that happen. And that is what you see right here. So basically what you're going to get with the kit is a nice little baggy to keep all the different parts in, and we're going to have something to go through the FastRide, and then we're going to have a different adapters. So we're going to have all the way from the 15 x 110, 15 x 100, 12 x 110, 12 x 100.

And then we are going to have the Thru Skew adapter as well. So you're going to get all this with the kit. And that's basically going to be most of the bikes that have a Thru Axle mount, and that is definitely something you may need. So we can do this swap when it's on the rack, if you want, if not, you can take it off. But we can just show you on the rack, So it doesn't take a whole lot of time.

Basically, there's going to be four little Allen keys. We're gonna take the Allen key that came with our kit, initially, which this came with the FastRide bike rack. And you can go ahead and kind of start loosening these up, and we can loosen up all four of them. We don't need to take these bolts out. It just basically squeezes on this part here.

So by loosening them, and allow it to slide on out. So once we get those loosened up, this guy will just slide on out, and we could put this in the baggy, if you want, that the kit comes with, if we're not going to be using it. That's always awesome. So, you go ahead and take our additional piece here, and I'm going to be using the 15x110 right here. All you need to do is put them in there, and listen here, nice little satisfying click.

And then once you do that, on the circle, it's not going to be perfectly round. We're going to have a little piece right here. It's going to be flared up, compared to the rest of it. And we're going to line that up, put it in, and then we can go ahead and tighten all this up. So now, we can go ahead and take our bike, and then we can place it up, just like this. And it'll slide right in. And you'll take the piece that holds your bike wheel in place. Slide that through and thread it in, just like you're threading it in to your bike wheel. And then once that's all done, we're ready to rip. So that's basically it. You have everything you need to get your Thru Axle bike up, and onto the FastRide. And it is just as stable as the fork-mounted attachment that comes with the FastRide. But if you don't believe me, we are going to take it out on the test course. But that's basically it for a look at the Thru Axle adapter kit for your Thule FastRide..
