Narwheel Classic Thru Axle Wheel Holder Twin Pack
£79.95
Lindarets' Narwheel Classic Thru-Axle Mount was made to securely hold thru axle front wheels in our workshop and while seeking out new trails in our campervan- but it works every bit as well in workshops, retail spaces, and demo trailers.
The Narwheel is CNC machined from 6061 aluminium and features a stepped stub axle and wingnut that will accommodate several sizes of front and/or rear hubs (see compatibility list)
The axle is mounted at a slight angle to allow some overlap with narrower tires yet keeps even 27.5 x 3.0in knobbies from contacting the mounting surface. The three-inch, four-bolt square base plate can be mounted to walls or posts (you supply appropriate hardware) at any orientation that works for you.
Please use your best judgement when mounting! We can't control or evaluate the surface you choose to mount these to or the suitability of the hardware you select, so take care when mounting in vehicles or where a falling wheel might injure someone. The Narwheel is not designed for outdoor or exterior vehicle use.
