 Hello all,
I'm working on hooking up my beloved BOB trailer to my new 12x142 axle bike (Specialized Epic).

I have a great local machinist and a design for a substitute axle but the price for one is high. If I can get a pool of others together and make a batch of  them the price would come down quickly.
Anybody interested?
 A trailer is not optional for my lifestyle. I can't go family bikepacking or carry my chainsaw for trail work without it. I called BOB and they have no plans to make an attachment for these new bikes yet. I think baby strollers and car seats are allot more profitable for them.
Anyone know of other forums I might find other BOBers on?

Hello,

 I  posted  this message a year ago and I finally got it done!

I had a stainless steel axel made for my specialized epic. works great so far.

I think the design will only work on a specialized 12x142. It won't go on my wife's Hi Fi fisher for example.

how many are still out there in need of this?

leave a post.

I'll try and get back w/a photo.

Good on ya.  We at The Robert Axle Project have developed a full line of axles to address this issue of 12mm thru-axles on most major brands of mountain bikes in terms of mounting BOB trailers.  Wish you well and hope to see you on the trail!
