    Hi,
    After a recent bike change I'm now looking into adapters to fit
    a bike with a thru axle onto a Wheel On QR turbo trainer(Elite Novo).

    My search brought me to this adaptor
    https://www.rosebikes.com/elite-thru-axle-adapter-1012mm-for-turbo-trainers-854319

    I am wondering if anybody has used one of these? It doesn't look like it threads into
    the frame, my main worry is that it would put pressure on the threads and potentialy
    deform them is this a rational thing to be worrying about?

    I went the more diy way. Has worked great. Picked up all the parts in BnQ. The face on my tru axle has got a bit scratched up but other than that its been fine and held up great over the winter. Maybe not the best solution. But I wasn't paying for an adapter that cost same/more than my cheap aldi trainer.

    thanks, looks pretty straight forward, I think I might give this a go

    Just bring your tru axle along with you. Handy for making sure the m4 bolts fit as one side might be smaller on one side.
