Is SJS cycles worth a look. They sell The Robert Axel project products.

Absolutely perfect! But expensive. I’m wondering whether I might have to bite the bullet for and wait for a cheaper product.

What make/model of trainer?
Also what is your thread pitch? 1, 1.5 or 1.75?

Trek website seems to indicate a 1.75, but I am unable to verify at the moment.

OK @bencran . I have a Tacx flow, that is also designed with QR frames in mind.
I played around with all sorts of bits and pieces, and came up with these..
They come in a pack of three different thread pitches, but I only needed the 1.5. I "think" there is a 1.75 lying unused in the garage.
Fits perfectly on my Tacx and holds the bike nice and firm.
If you want I'll have a look tomorrow. Or you can try and find these - I can't be sure but think mine came from Sigma.
The problem seems to be that whole wheel trainers still think in terms of QR.
If you want to "try before you buy" give me a holler. Thread pitch is the most important bit for you to check.

Edit...I've just checked Sigma but they are out of stock. Other suppliers are advertising them but no mention of stock levels.

This is extremely interesting and I’m extremely grateful for your help, however I don’t think this would fit my trainer. The left side spigot seems to fit into a proprietary adapter which is mounted to the trainer. Unfortunately my trainer mounting brackets appear to be fixed.
