You have to take the front wheel off and attach the bracket as well ad the bracket for the rear wheel.

Yes. I had to get a socket wrench and twist off the nut on the left rear side of the bicycle. Then put the little black piece against that same spot with the flat end towards front of bike. Screw this piece on with the original nut. Then you should see how the cart arm will twist a little but will fit right on the attachment.

Hey Rachel I just ordered this a week ago and it attached pretty easily to my bike. It should have included an anchor that bolts directly onto the rear of your bike, on the opposite side of the rear derailleur. Search for username 'AOSOMCOM' on YouTube, they have a few instructional vids :) hope this helps, love the trailer!

I'm not sure there is a way to connect it to a bike. I did see a $9 booklet for making your own trailer that connects to a bike. You might find an option there. Search for:Build Your Own SUP Trailer: Step-by-Step Directions by O. B. Trailers (Author)

I've used it with two bikes and no problems here. As long as you have a metal frame going from the center of the back wheel toward the middle of the bike, you should be fine. I believe that the trailer is meant to be attached only to this part of the frame, but I could be wrong.

I think as long as there is a bolt on the outside of your rear frame, you can use that bolt to secure the small attachment for the trailer. This attachment will remain on the bike, and you would just hook the trailer to it when in use. I don't think it would matter what kind of break you have.

You must temporarily remove the nut from the left side of the rear axle and then slide on a figure 8 shaped part. Replace the nut, tighten and you are ready to go. This part stays on the bike and a flexible piece on the trailer tongue slips into it and is held in place by a pin with a small locking arm attached. Works fine as long as the kickstand on your bike is in the "normal" place (near the pedals) where it can not interfer with the trailer when it is in the up position.

If the carrier doesn't provide enough clearance between the forward bike and the spare tire you could alwaysinstall a hitch extension bar. Any good trailer hitch store or trailer hitch web site should have them. On one end of the extension bar is a male end that fits into the female recepticle of your hitch. On the other end ( the extended end ) is a female recepticle that accepts the bike carrier. You would probably need to implement some anti-rattle clamps to reduce or eliminate looseness of the assembly. I wouldn'trecommend using the extension bar on anything but a lightweight load like a bike carrier.

I just used a ratchet strap ( three of them ) to hold them down. This works pretty good, but you need to be careful because they will rub together. This unit does a very good job transporting bikes or anything else you need. I have mine on the back of my camper and used it several times last year.

WARNING: The coupler is not compatible with all bikes! Customer service said some high-end, or racing bikes will not work with this trailer. They said there is no extra piece or solution to make it work. We are returning our trailer.

Should fit. In order to place the trailer adapter, you remove the bolt that holds your back wheel on, slide the adapter on, and replace the bolt. I'd say they're pretty much universal size bolts on bikes.

I have a flat rear bike rack that attaches to rear of seat and rear tire hub that i attach the basket to it with the plastic screw knobs. To make more secure, i run a bungey cord back and forth a couple times under the basket, hooking it to the bike rack. marion

John all I can tell you that the hitch connects to the side of the bike frame and if installed properly you shyould not have any problems. The hitch I found is user friendly, and the trailer is of excellent quality. I use the trailer almost on a daily basis.

The trailer bike should come complete and ready to install and go. If you do not have all the parts to attach it to your main bike you did not get everything.

The trailer comes with a hitch. I got a second one because I have two bicycles.

I couldn't either. Take it with you to a bike repair shop & ask them if it's right for your bike. It wouldn't attach to mine. I returned it.

From experience, I can tell you that when the bike tips over, the trailer stays upright. There is a sort of spring as part of the connector that allows for some bending and twisting.
