Calling BOB trailer owners

[mangid]

What are the dimensions of the bobbin ? I have a cheap and cheerful 'adventure' trailer which hooks on to 9mm extensions of a custom quick release:

I'm looking to get a new bike, and they seem to come with thru axles these days (or at least the ones I'm looking at). So I am wondering if the Robert Axle Project thru axles with Bob bobbins will work. The narrow part is 9mm diameter, and it needs to be at least 11mm wide.

I'll have a measure this evening.

Right, sorry for the delay, I kept forgetting. The narrow part of a BobNut is 12mm diameter or thereabouts.

Cheers Tim.

I dropped the Robert Axle Project an email and they got back within a day. It looks like I can replace the forks (yoke?) with Bob trailer forks, so my N+1 dream is still alive :-) Just in discussions over how much I can spend on what is notionally the home commuter bike that may occasionally be left unattended ....
