Hello Zwift community,
I’m wondering if a solution exist to make the Zwift Hub compatible with my bike with a QR12x142 axle. My bike is a Stevens Prestige 2018.
Thx
As an aside, when I attempt to Google that model of bicycle, all the site hits I get flash massive red flags for being unsafe. Perhaps you can post photos of the axle and bike.

Yes i have the same issue with the website it seems the certificate is outdated but it’s secured.
Here is some screenshots:
That photo looks like a regular 12x142 thru-axle to me. I’m not sure why Stevens is calling a “QR.”
-
When you remove the wheel - does the quick release mechanism remain inside the axle? That is what I’d call a quick release skewer. The Hub works with this type of wheel in widths of 130 mm or 135 mm only.
-
If you have to slide out the thru-axle before the wheel drops out of the frame - that is not a quick release - it is a thru axle. The Hub supports this type of wheel in 142 mm or 148 mm.
There are also some less-common thru-axle systems from Mavic and others that are a hybrid of the two. These are still essentially 12x142 mm thru-axle systems and should be compatible with the Hub, but it’s difficult to say without knowing the particulars of the hybrid system

A few brands used a system made by Naild that was a thru-axle with a quicker/easier way of removing the axle for wheel changes. Not sure if Stevens used that exact system or something similar. Either way there were loads of issues with them. See: 12-3-9 — Naild
Robert Axle Project makes replacement axles that will convert these QR thru-axle system to traditional thru-axle designs which then allows you to use them with trainers.
