I have a 2014 Specialized Tricross base, will this clamp on to my existing axle or do i have to switch out the rear skewer with the one included?

I had to return the one I bought. They had a lot of these that could not be put together the way they were built.

My specialized tri-cross expert has mounts on the down tube. All I had to do was remove the the Allen bolts and put them through the rack, and screw them all back in. The same was for the lower mounts. You may have to contact the manufacturer if you cannot mount to the seat post bolt.

Yes. That is the exact setup I am running after upgrading my classic Schwinn. Works great.

At a MINIMUM you would need to drill holes in the base rails to attach the axle. NOt easy since rails ar round. But I dont have it in front of me, it was many months ago so my memory may not be accurate, but I saw it was such a bad fit that just sent it back. Would not attempt unless you feel very handy

I am using the skewers on Suntour XC Pro hubs. The front is 100mm over locknut distance and the rear is 135mm over locknut distance.

Yes, the way it works is you remove the rear skewer from your bike and use the skewer included and that fits into the mounting clamps.

Mr. A,Unfortunately i do not have any experience with anything other than quick release on this machine (and on any of my bikes..U lock through rear wheel/frame).It does come with a quick release skewer which should take a minute or two to install.Sorry i can't be more help.

I don't think it will work on triple axle. Might be to long to fit in between .

I think you would need to get some kind of adapter. The ends have a bit of a "V" that gets pretty wide, probably wide enough for a thru axle, but I don't have thru axle wheel set to confirm.

Yes I was able to change gears. The skewer included replaces the stock one when in the trainer. The gearing will function just as if you were riding your bike on the ground.

The crank appears to be unique to the Schwinn AC bikes. I doubt you could swap for something else.

my bike was converted to a trike so i have to drill new holes to make it fit. dont know if it will bolt right on to a stock bike

If your wheels already have a quick release skewer then these should work as a replacement. I used one as a replacement part on a schwinn bike from the early 2000s

I use the O rings only for mounting the base to the Bike... and I don't see why you could not keep changing it. But I suspect that you are bound to lose the O rings if you keep changing them. By the way, they have a great support team. Email them and they'll give you a definitive answer.

These come with quick release skewers. I wanted bolt-on too so I used the existing ones off my old wheelset with no problems

it should work fine if your rear wheel has a quick release removable skewer, the difference in a fixed gear bike would be in the sprockets and it should work fine

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.
