does the thing hook up to Trek brand bikes?

The brand shouldn't matter. It hooks up the pin/axle that goes through the middle of the rear tire. As long as you can remove that, whether via a bolt or quick-release mechanism, and add the special washer the trailer comes with, it should hook up just fine.

Can't say for sure but the trailer comes with a universal adapter piece that you install on your rear tire mount of your bike. Once installed, I've kept mine on where I have the trailer or not as its very inconspicuous. Installation was easy and I can't see any reason why the same wouldn't be true of other bike models or brands. So I'd imagine it works on any type of bike but I don't have a a trek so I don't want to assume too much.

I just got one of these trailers to connect to my Trek Mountain Bike and no, it does not work and the adapter is NOT universal. Your frame must be flat where the axel bolt meets the frame. Lots of mountain bikes actually have curved molding on the frame around where the bolt meets the frame. If your frame does not have apprx 1 1/2" diameter of flat frame from the center of the axle bolt hole, the mounting bracket will not work.

NO. Look at the video. It shows fitting two bikes, when one is a small kiddy bike. My Trek 8.3 DS hybrid will NOT fit on top of another similar hybrid. Just measure the pedals sticking out and the the length of the arm between the two bikes. Note that racing type bikes have horizontal top bars, but hybrids slant. People saying 'yes' never say exactly what model bike they are talking about, and do not seem to mind smashing an expensive derailleur against a pedal

Not really. Not if you are using a MTB for it's intended purposes. On the other hand if you are using your mountain bike like a road/hybrid bicycle, not only does it work very well but it gives your mountain bike that classic look. I have a Trek 800 Antelope and everyone loves it's classic cosmetic appeal. It also rides a lot better as a road bike than a mountain bike on city streets.

It worked for my trek X Caliber 6 which has a pretty big angle on the top tube. It's a great rack! Just be careful that you store the rack in your trunk or back seat while riding. Mine was stolen from my car one night when I accidentally left it on the car in front of my house.

Yes. I have a step thru bike that I carry on this rack. I bought it for that reason.

Yes it does.Send me your contact details and I will send you a pic of the wooden bike that I built with the hub fittedRichard rbertie@iafrica.com

Yes, it hooks to the wheel of any type of bike. You just have to make sure you mount it high enough on the wall.

It worked on my Trek Wahoo that has quick release wheels and disc brakes. I had to open it up a little but if you get it open a little it fits nicely. The only other thing was the two silver 'arms' that attach to the frame. There was a little bending to get them to line up with the holes on the frame to secure the rack to the frame under the seat. I am very happy with this rack and the pannier bag I ordered from Amazon.

Yes , But it comes with a really long cord. If you replace it, use the same size. I,m hanging a Trek bicycle with the existing cord and it works fine. Nice product!!!

No... you'll have to purchase a new docking kit specifically for your tour pak. For the correct part number, see here: http://www.hdforums.com/forum/attachments/touring-models/99368d1267379412-detachable-docking-hardware-question-docking_matrix.jpgThe good thing is that you'll be able to keep both docking systems, and change the configuration of your bike as your needs change. Good luck!

Yes, we need it for my wife's bike but maybe the angle on your bike is not as much as her Trek bike. If that is the only bike going on the rack, I guess you could, not sure, but I would want it balanced on the rack. I really like mine and it worked even with my fairly wide spare tire for my Jeep.

Not sure bud. I put it on a 2010 26" Gary Fisher Wahoo by Trek. The frame mount is meant to work with frames that have threaded mounting holes on the frame by the wheel nuts. I would check to see if you have these and if not order the non-frame mount ones. Hope this helps.

I see no reason why it wouldn't work on the trek 7100. It's pretty easy to set up and use. You may want to consider a more comfortable seat for your bike if you don't already have one. By the way, for the price I don't think anything out there can compare.

Works fine for my Trek (not 29) but w discs, should b no problem. It's basically just a skewer- I would be shocked if it didn't work w any bike

I found the component information for my Trek 7300 on bikepedia.com, try that as well as the manufacturer site for the bike in question.

They bolted onto my cheap factory pedals on my Trek just fine. The pedals, however, do need to be designed to use toe clips. You need two bolt holes in the front and a slot in the middle of the sides for the strap to go through. If your pedals came on a road bike, they are probably good to go. Any other style of bike, you'll more than likely have to buy a set of pedals.
