options to Park through axle fork-mount stand accessory?

[teleguy57]

The DIY fork stand thread got me thinking. I have the Park PRS-20 stand for QR forks. Their accessory to use with through axles (https://www.parktool.com/product/sliding-thru-axle-adaptor-1729-ta) seems to be a good quality solution, but a bit pricey at $60. Anyone have any options that still hold the frame securely but is less expensive?

I don't see a point in spending extra for that when you can just use the QR like a TA on a stand.

I have the Feedback Sports Sprint and i just use the QR with zero issues.

If you need an adaptor for your roof rack, could always use one of these and kill two birds with one stone

Based on this price, the park tool does not seem crazy.

Huh, never thought about that. My TA bike is still incoming so I'm just wrapping my head around what will be different in the TA/disc world since my experience is rim brake/QR wheels and frames.

Is this something you'd be interested in?

You don't need to place it straight up and down. Can be angled to keep the front end lower. I have these in 15x100 and they work great.

I have the adapter for my stand though :banana:
