I have a Bob Yak cheap copy trailer and a Trek X Calibre mountain bike with the odd Trek rear boost qr. I think Scott have the same arrangement. Anyone have an idea what thru axle I need to order? It's this one. I'm in Spain but delivery to UK isn't a problem. Thanks.

When I needed an axle for my Trek Rail to be able to attach a BoB SJS Cycles sent me to here:

Not cheap but it was all I could find.

Oh dear, That's nearly as much as the trailer and it wouldn't work as the trailer arms would just slip off. Nothing on that website looks like it will work. Thank you though.

@reluctantrider - the axle from Robert axle project requires you to unscrew the "bobbins" from your original trailer axle and use those.
You also need to consider your axle width, compared to the yak yoke

EDIT: if you don't have the original trailer axle, then you can buy the bobbins separately...

Yes but, if you can click and collect your groceries, on the way home from work, the money saved by not having to drive to the supermarket will eventually pay for the trailer/axle.
