SeaSucker Thru-Axle Fork Mount

As it seems to happen every couple of years, the powers that be have chosen a new fork mount standard encourage the purchase of new, "better" bikes: 12mm. These new through-axles are showing up on high end road and 'cross bikes now. Are we witnessing the demise of the venerable 9mm quick release? Only time will tell.

You have two options for mounting a 12mm fork to a SeaSucker rack: use a somewhat-more-expensive Fork Up adapter, or use our dedicated 12/100mm fork mount. The 12mm fork mount is bolt-on, meant for riders who are always using their rack with their thru-axle bike.

15mm Fork Mount

Most decent mountain bikes these days come with 15mm through-axles up front. You have two options for mounting to a SeaSucker rack: use a somewhat-more-expensive Fork Up adapter, or use our dedicated 15/100mm fork mount. The 15mm fork mount is bolt-on, meant for riders who are always using their rack with their thru-axle bike. According to our friend and MTB pro Macky Franklin: “The 15mm fork mount is perfect. So much steadier than using the adaptor.” If you’ve got a Boost front hub (15/110mm), make sure to get one of our Boost Spacers (available HERE) to get the fit right.
