I am working on changing over my cycleops trainer to ThruAxle to accommodate my newer bikes. How do I tell which thread pitch I have? The Cycleops conversion for their trainer will only allow for 1.0 or 1.75 TP but I have no idea how to determine that, and googling it turned up bupkis.
This is what Im looking to buy:

I have a DT Swiss TA on one bike, but have no idea what the TP is.
thanks-

DT = M12 x 1 x 16

It'll work ;)

Wait what? Is that for sure, Eric? I saw that some DT are 1.5 TP which won't work with this adapter...

I was just looking this up the other day. I have 2 Foundrys with through axles and wanted a trainer adapter. Kenetic sells a few different models. My bikes have DT axles and I found spec on the Foundry website for 171mm length and 1.5mm pitch.

This guide is helpful.

Last race I took three bikes just so I could have a trainer bike. Since i haven't bought the adapter yet it looks like I'll be doing that this weekend too.
