PDF here says only the muin thru axle version is boost compatible. If you’ve got that version then it gives the part number you need to get it working.

If you have Q/R Muin I'm afriad there's no way to convert it to a Tru-axle, it was designed at a time when 99% of road bikes had Q/R back ends and convertibility just wasn't factored in.

The thru axle used a drilled out casting and was made specifically for sponsored MTB athletes, there was no way to convert one to the other.

I’ve got an Elite Direto and I’ve used a bearing between the slide in 142mm x 12mm adaptor and the turbo. Works well. If you think it might work I’ll have a look at size of bearing.

I have a first series Tacx Neo which is QR in that a standard thru axle won't go through the hole. I have a thru axle converter kit which consists of adaptors at the ends of what is effectively a QR skewer. Perhaps there is something similar for the Muin?

You need a different bike or a different turbo unfortunately! I used to have a Turbo Muin B+ and sold it and bought a Saris H3 instead.

I can't seem to post a link but have a look on Amazon for a Tacx E-thru axle. Its 12mm. I got one for my boost frame but sent it back as it was too wide to fit in-between the slots for the axle on my turbo. You might have to measure how wide an axle it can take
