It&#8217;s also useful for anyone running multiple rigs who wants flexibility between generations.<\/p>\n<h2>What to know before buying<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Lightbridge does not work with this adapter.<\/strong> Because the adapter replaces the Link Quick Release interface entirely, wireless data and power transfer via Lightbridge is not available.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bluetooth continues to work as normal.<\/strong> Wheel data transfer over Bluetooth is unaffected.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Installation is straightforward.<\/strong> Remove the original Link Quick Release from your wheelbase, install the adapter using the included fasteners and tools, and mount your wheel with the supplied locking pin.
