Ortlieb Thru Axle M6-Connector
Best reliable mounting solution for cyclists towing heavy cargo trailers.
This is the missing link for turning a modern performance bike into a capable hauler. It trades the simplicity of a standard thru-axle for the utility of integrated mounting points, finally allowing you to attach racks to frames that weren't designed for them.
