Anyone has experience installing the new Ortlieb Thru Axle M6-Connector and use Quick-Rack with it? Looks to be a better option, at least installation-wise, to be better than the Quick-Rack Seat Stay Adapter. This looks like a good way to carry panniers on my Canyon Roadlite.

I had it on my Grizl because I broke the threads that you’re supposed to use.
Taking the rear wheel out gets a tad bit more annoying, because you need to remove the studs first. You need a 6mm and 5mm hex wrench.
I have heard that using it on a frame with UDH can lead to the rack being quite a bit off-centered. On the Grizl, it was fine. The rack itself wasn’t perfectly symmetrical anyway.
Oh, and pay attention to the tire clearance. They say that it shrinks down to 30-622 when using the axle and that’s road bike territory. Gravel bikes should use the L version as that allows for 50-622, you should probably do that too.
