Fork Mount for Bike - 15mm thru-axle + adapters

thingiverse

I engineered specialized fork-mount components so that I can securely fasten my bikes within my vehicle for extended road trips. This design comprises two files - a 15mm thru-axle mount, and a separate file for a 15mm thru-axle adapter suitable for standard 5mm quick releases. The goal is to allow mounting either a mountain bike featuring a 15mm thru-axle or utilizing the adapter pieces to securely fasten any bike with a conventional quick release and 9mm dropouts. I recommend printing the adapter components with 100% infill as they will be subjected to pressure from a quick release and a bike fork attached to it. Because the interior space of the adapter components is quite confined, I suggest using a drill to carefully remove any support material that may be obstructing them. I found that printing with supports at 8% thickness yielded excellent results.
