There are 2 versions of this adapter/holder

The older version has a shorter silver insert up to 100mm. The website has a photo of the old version, not the new one.

  • Car carrier and holder

Works but could be better.

I bought this to take my 2015 Epic with me. Does what it's supposed to, but the dimensions are a bit smaller.

Not the best option for 15x110mm axles

To be honest I don't recommend this product. I bought two and while they were easy to attach to my TracRack where I carry our bikes on road trips, securing the forks is a real PITA. My bike has a Fox Rhythm 34 fork with a 15x110 axle. With the silver 15mm tube adapter installed, there is clearance on either side that allows the fork to wobble and move from side to side when attached to the mount. This movement can scratch or damage the inside of the fork dropouts, and I worry about the axle…
