    Hi I recently bought a German E bike a Haibike Xduro Allmtn Rc. I have owned a BoB Yak trailer for many years which I have done quite a bit of off road touring with. I only decided to buy the new bike with 142 x 12mm axle when i read about the Robert axle project that fits my BoB bobbins. The axle is very easy to fit but I needed an extra washer to ensure the new axle didn’t protude through the frame as per instructions. The kit only came with one washer but luckily i had a spare in my washer bin.
    I have test ridden the new bike with new axle and of course it works beautifully. as recommended by BoB (The best off road trailer)

    I purchased this axle to allow for the joining of a BOB Ibex trailer to a 2013 Turner Burner.

    In short, the axle performs as beautifully as its aesthetics. Additionally, I was also very impressed with the promptness of shipping and the various notifications received during shipping.

    If it suits your needs, I highly recommend this axle.

    I left Cape Vincent NY in late April and have ridden the southern shore of the St Lawrence River/Gulf to the tip of the Gaspe and beyond. I’m currently just shy of Cape Britton where I plan to catch the ferry to New Foundland and then on to Labrador.
    The bad news? Several flats so far. Good news? I’ve had occasion to remove the ROBERT AXEL PROJECT rear axle several times now in all sorts of weather and it works flawlessly. It’s easily threaded back into the frame and seats well once tightened down. It’s showing no sign of wear after a fairly grueling 1000 miles plus.
    Can’t recommend it highly enough. Now, to get you folks to design a better tire!
    All the best for future success,

    Stunning – fit on the Trek Super Fly 7 was perfect! One small issue – I have previously used the trailer on a 26 MTB, and now have a 29er. I need to get a new bit from BOB so the trailer fits with the bigger wheel. Thanks RAP!

    Great service. They evaluated my initial order and helped me correct. Product shipped fast and worked like a champ!!

    I’ve had a BoB for quite a while, used it a bunch on my 26er, then upgraded to a 29er Ibex, used it for a few years on a Salsa with standard skewer. Then got a Niner ROS and the BoB hasn’t been on a trail since. I needed to haul a chainsaw in and do some trail work a few weeks ago, and found the Robert Axle solution. I bought the axle and bobbins as I didn’t want to rob the bobbins off my skewered axle as I still use it on my 26er around town.

    Shipping was prompt, got the bobbins and axle in a couple of days. I had to bend the yoke on the Ibex out just a tad to get it to fit the wider axle. I have two yokes, one for my 26er and one for my 29er, so now I just swap yokes depending on which bike I’m using to pull the BoB.

    Glad to have my BoB option on the trails again. Was able to get in and clear 30+ trees in one go the first day out, drug the bike/trailer over a few big ones and the axle held up great.

    Worked great for me. Great personal service, simple installation.

    It does what it says it does – got my Bob Yak trailer towing in line with both my CX (700c) and MTB (29er) and my back is weightless!

  9. Thom MacDonald (verified owner)

    I recently purchased the complete kit along with the bobbins and pins – Not only are these precision parts of the highest quality, their customer service is just as excellent!

    The Robert Axle Project is the true solution for bikes, Mountain or Road, that have thru-axles!
