Thru Axle | Thule

Rear axle adapter to connect bike trailer to bike

There are mainly 3 types:

• Syntace M12x1.0
• Shimano e-Thru M12x1.5
• Maxle M12x1.75

Very often these acronyms, whole or partial, are present on the pin itself which make it easy to identify the respective standard. If not, and unless you have a tool that measures the pitch of the threads, it is better to check the technical data sheet of your bike to be sure of the thread pitch compatible with your frame.

To see which one fits your bike, remove it by following the instructions here.

It is worth noting that Thule accessories do not cover all market standards. Although these are very rare situations, it may happen that there is no Thule accessory that is compatible with your bike.
