RockyMounts announces NEW 15mm/20mm thru-axle adapter that locks

June 2, 2011 - PRLog -- RockyMounts launched the first ever thru-axle mount to carry both 15mm and 20mm thru-axles with the ability to lock.  RockyMounts thru-axle line is now available for purchase.

RockyMounts DriveShaft introduces a more practical solution for carrying a fatty thru-axle bike.  It highlights a solid metal body, a wide mouth opening for easy loading, snap-in nylon shims to switch between 15mm and 20mm thru-axles, an adjustable cam lever to tighten and firmly hold your bike in place, and a trusty lock for security.

RockyMounts thru-axle line is broken into three products:

DriveShaft- A fork mount adapter that fits standard fork mounts from RockyMounts®, Thule® and Yakima®.  Lock and keys included.  Retails for $69.95.  

DriveShaft HM- A bolt on hard mount for the bed of your truck.  Lock and keys included.  Retails for $74.95.  

DriveShaft SD- (Does it all) A mount that fits snug inside the bed channels found on Toyota®, Chevy®, and GMC®, can also be used as a truck bed bolt-on mount, or as a fork mount adapter.  Comes with a 9mm dummy axle to also fit standard 9mm axles.  Lock and keys included.  Retails for $89.95.  

RockyMounts thru-axle line is currently available in select stores and online.  RockyMounts received their first batch of 300 DriveShafts on May 17th.  After one day of inventory and eight days of un-advertised sales, RockyMounts DriveShaft sold out.  There were close to 200 pre-sold to dealers and consumers and 50 patiently awaiting customers who jumped on the opportunity to grab from the first batch.  The rest trickled out quickly from internet sales.  Another shipment to the RockyMounts warehouse in Boulder, CO is expected to arrive on June 12th.
