Lacy, this comes with what you need to hook up to a regular bike. If you have a bike with a rear disc break, then you will need an adapter which I can only find online and not in any of my local stores. I highly highly recommend this trailer. We've been using even more and it becomes more useful everytime we go out wither just to get outside for a bit or on the back of a tandeem with her grandparents. Its great. Hope you enjoy it!

Not familiar with high end bikes. My Mt. Bike is just the $100 dept. store variety. But the rear mount kickstand is the best. Far superior to the standard mount variety. Hope this was somewhat helpful.

More than likely the bike will need to already have discs on it. For a bike to be disc comparable it must have wheels that have disc hubs and a frame that has the proper mounts. Sometimes frames middle to upper end have the proper mounts but you would need to replace your wheels. Do a quick search for disc brake mounts and you'll see what you need to have, as well as a search for disc hub pictures and you will see how the disc mounts to the hub with the 5 bolt system.

I ride a Trek- Rock Shox, disc brakes front and rear. ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEMS! This rack rules.

I have a Trek Multitrack 730 (which is like the great great grandfather of your 7.2) and had no problems mounting/using the Tyke Toter with it. We just took the training wheels off his own bike this spring, but my son loved riding on the Toter with me when he was younger.

go on line and look at some of the many installation videos. i have two of them one for a comfort bike with disk brakes (you need the rack for disk brakes) and one for a hybrid bike with regular brakes (you need the standard rack shown it the picture). it attached very well to both bikes. 95% of bikes have the four standard screw holes required to mount the rack. these are strong racks and the assorted bags work great, but if you don't have the mounting holes that you will see in the videos you could have a machine shop install "rivet-nuts" at the two top mounting locations and tapped holes at the bottom. they also sell cheaper racks that just clamp to the seat post tube. go on line and look at some of the many installation videos. i have two of them one for a comfort bike with disk brakes (you need the rack for disk brakes) and one for a hybrid bike with regular brakes (you need the standard rack shown it the picture). it attached very well to both bikes. 95% of bikes have the four standard screw holes required to mount the rack. these are strong racks and the assorted bags work great, but if you don't have the mounting holes that you will see in the videos you could have a machine shop install "rivet-nuts" at the two top mounting locations and... » Read More go on line and look at some of the many installation videos. i have two of them one for a comfort bike with disk brakes (you need the rack for disk brakes) and one for a hybrid bike with regular brakes (you need the standard rack shown it the picture). it attached very well to both bikes. 95% of bikes have the four standard screw holes required to mount the rack. these are strong racks and the assorted bags work great, but if you don't have the mounting holes that you will see in the videos you could have a machine shop install "rivet-nuts" at the two top mounting locations and tapped holes at the bottom. they also sell cheaper racks that just clamp to the seat post tube. « Show Less

As noted below, this is for disk brakes. The rack has plenty of clearance for the rear fender. I own Planet Bike Cascadia 29er fenders and was able to mount the rack no problem. In fact, it was extremely easy to mount and tweak it to fit perfectly. Good luck.

Topeak has an excellent site -www.topeak.com Your bag will fit on all three. The difference in racks is how they are made to fit over the rear tire. They all clamp to the seat post: the E extends straight out, so if your tire sits higher than where you attach it, the E will not fit on the bike; the A slants up before it goes parallel to the ground, so it clears a high rear wheel like that on most road bikes (I use this on my tandem -small stoker); the V slants down (large frame road or bike with small wheels. Mostly you want the one that sits closest to the wheels, especially if you throw your leg over the rear wheel to mount the bike. Look at your seatpost and where you would clamp this on and figure out if you can extend straight out or need to go up or down to just clear the wheel. They all mount and work the same, it's just about wheel clearance. I have all three, the A I bought first and have no use for as it sits way too high and I can't straddle my commuter, so I ended up getting the E.

Not sure what a TT bike is and I'm a pretty serious rider. Will tell you that this mount works perfectly on my road bike, but it was too large for my hybrid. The carbon bars on my road bike are "fatter" than those on the hybrid. So I have a second mount - perhaps it will fit on my 29er? Picking it up this weekend and will know then!

Well you are encountering the same problem I had with my Diamondback 29er. There is no way to attach the carrier to the frame because there are no bosses on the frame. I did not want to drill the frame because it may compromiise the strengh of the frame. You could call Diamondback and ask. Topeak offers another carrier which Amazon carries for bikes with this concern.

I've ridden with the bag for 3300K mounted on a Trek EX8 full suspension and have had no problems though I've only taken it off road on slightly hilly nature park trails. Lots of roots to bounce over and the unit has never come loose. The rack is substantial and the locking mechanism has worked very well so far. I have their handlebar bag, too, and have no complaints regarding it either. The locking mechanisms are secure and easy to release. Torque the rack to the post to 6 Newtons, and you'll have no worries. I've had several different rack over the years, and this is the best particularly for a full suspension bike. Hope this helps.

Not sure, I ride a canondale and my husband has a Trek hybrid. Ours fit facing opposite directions. The rack space is 2 3/4 inches for the tires. I do not know how the disc brakes would impact the fit. This rack is not the highest quality but was better then leaning our bikes against a wall.

There should be a Non-disc brake option. Try this link Topeak Super Tourist Tubular Bicycle Trunk Rack with Spring That should work for you.

Hi GP, thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately, our "Fork Base Unit" can't be mounted over the top of most rear racks.Regards, Bike Balance

Only fits Topeak racks. they dovetail together. I like mine. I stop at the store slide it off and roll into the store even if i don't buy anything I don't have to worry about someone stealing something I left in it if I would have left it on the bike.

The top is the same as any bike rack it is wider at the bottom of feet to accomadate disk brakes. The rack comes with spacers to add to the mounting screws otherwise you can mount it like any other bike rack.
