*Front Runner Thru Axle no good if your boosted. (1 Viewer)

Hi All

Just wondering if anyone has an experience with the new Front Runner thru axle rack, I purchased this last week for the roof bars on my 80. I was super stoked about it coming got it all fitted to find it didn't actually work with my boosted 36 fox forks. Over all I am pretty disappointed with it, i emailed front runner a couple of times but no response so far. Has anyone else had this problem or made it work? If i take a grinder to it shorten it by a couple of mm each side it may fit but I would rather send it back.

Cheers

Interesting... only concern is that is it not locking...
This rocky mounts is a much better option...

And then construction your own rear tire tie-down holder/carrier.

I’ve got the same carrier on it’s way to me now. But based on the frontrunner YouTube video for this product, looks like you’ll need the adaptor.
