Will this work with an older bike, that uses axle nut ends rather than a quick-release skewer?

Yea, I think it should. The two parts that articulate with the bike on either side of the tire are concave and can be tightened down nicely.

No, it does not work properly with axle nut ends. According to the RAD website this product is specifically made for bikes with a quick release rear axle.

I just took a close look at my RAD trainer. It is my opinion that a nutted axle will not seat correctly. I would be afraid the bike would slip out and cause injury.

I have 2 bikes one with and one without or older. It worked on the older but always seemed a bit precarious because it doesn't seat real well although they send a rod that you can use to replace your existing part with giving you the quick release. I just didn't bother doing it because I really wanted to use it on my newer bike.

The bike skewer on the ForkLift works just like the skewer on your quick release wheel - use the thumb screw to get it close then 'cam' down the lever - be careful not to over tighten!

My bike has the quick release clamp. I think a clamp with a carriage bolt and nut will work.

The outside dimension of the frame where my axle mounts is 5-13/16'' and it fits perfectly. I don't know the dimensions of your frame. The skewer on this has a lot of threads but it is at its max with my frame. Hope this helps. ME

Yes, it is very well designed. My problem is my quick release is not long enough to accommodate the piece that will connect the trIler to the bike. The local bike shop could find a longer skewer for my bike. I will have to go to the hardware store to find parts to coo next the trailer to my frame. I did use it a little to test the trAiler. It rode smoothly but puts strIn on my axle. I won't use it til I can secure it better to my bike.

That's hard to say. The trainer includes a replacement axel for your rear wheel. If your riding a relatively modern bike with a quick release, it should work.

Works fine for my Trek (not 29) but w discs, should b no problem. It's basically just a skewer- I would be shocked if it didn't work w any bike

Its not unusual for a bike with a quick release tire to not fit in the trainers. Mine didn't either, but my sons bike did. It's an easy fix though. The skewer ( the nut and rod that hold the tire onto the bike), needs to be replaced for one that fits both your bike and the trainer. When I first heard I had to do that, I was really disappointed, thinking it was going to be a harder job then I could handle. But if you youtube "how to change a rear skewer", you'll find it its a really simple job. I ordered a new skewer from Amazon. The one I ordered is called CycleOps Trainer Skewer. Although I have read that others were able to go to a bike store to buy one. It took me about a minute to switch the skewers.

Pretty sure it will work with any bike, you just take off one nut on the back wheel. It is super easy to hook up. I use just a crescent wrench

No its not it uses a quick release axle and fits a standard fork. I have these wheels on my Cannondale Rize 4. I am thinking about getting a second set and changing the hub out for a 20mm thru axle because i just bought another bike. The change would not be that hard to do and is worth it to me because these are extremely nice wheels.

I don't think so- it there a quick release on the rear wheel? You would have to be able to remove the skewer from the rear wheel to replace with the one included. I had an old 10 speed with a quick release and we still had to modifiy with washers because it was not the standard size for newer wheels.

Skewer only works on bikes with a hollow axle. The pictures I saw of Diamondback Tess 24 show solid axles front and rear. The specs for this bike also state "nutted" which indicate a solid axle. If you're thinking you can convert to quick release by simply purchasing this product -- it's not that easy. You'll also have to replace the solid axle with a hollow one. However, if you have a broken skewer that came from a hollow axle already on the bike, this product should be good as a replacement.

The bracket that goes on the bike is pocketed. So it depends on the width of the skewer nut. The pocket is about 0.850" in diameter and about 0.1" deep.

When I ordered mine it came with a replacement skewer to use with the KKR Machineinstead of the stock one.So your bolt would not be used at all.

Yes, it has been designed to fit road bikes and mountain bikes. The best way to make sure is to measure your current rear wheel "hub" skewer and compare to the measurements of the Kinetic skewer (9.5 x 0.5 x 0.5 inches). No doubt it will work for you.

Yes, if you have a straight-shank one. Locating the stop hole on the base is a trick but once a stopping pin is inserted and the existing head is spun off in the same direction that it rotates it comes off and one of the included nuts does work.

I'm using mine with a rode bike, the forks are open on the bottom and go down over the mount and then they are clamped into place. I don't use the skewer to mount the bike. I don't think it will work with your application, but the mfg. would be the best source for your answer.
