Will a Novara Ponderosa 29er with a 15mm Thru-Axle Fit Rhino-Rack Mountain Trail Roof Bike Rack

Question:

I have a Novara Ponderosa 29er Bike - 2015 with a 15mm thru-axle, do I need any other parts to make this bike fit this rack? I also have the Rhino Rack bars on my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee, if that info is needed. Thanks.

Out of the box the Rhino-Rack Mountain Trail bike rack # RBC035 is compatible with 9mm quick-release skewers. To make it compatible with the 15mm through-axle on your Novara Ponderosa 29er you will need adapter # RRRBCA030.

For a fork mount rack that is compatible with the 15mm through-axle without the need of an adapter I recommend the Yakima HighSpeed # Y02115 which will also be compatible with the Rhino-Rack crossbars on your 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I have linked videos of both bike racks for you.
