Is it possible to hitch this to the bike frame instead of the axle? What kind of adapter would I use?

It doesn't hitch to the axle exactly, but uses the nut or quick release lever of the axle to secure it to the rear fork. I think if you tried to attach anywhere else you'd find the hitch arm isn't long enough

I am having a hard time visualizing how you would do this. The bikes hang vertically, so I do not see how it would work on a receiver hitch rack.

Maybe......There are different axle diameters and axle lengths. I would recommend going to a local bike shop. It's a $7 product on Amazon, but if you order the wrong one, it will take a week to replace with the proper quick release skewer. Even if your local bike shop charges $10-$15 for the skewer, I would pay the extra to make sure you get the proper one. You might even be able to talk the bike shop people into installing for you.

Though I've never used such a device to connect my rack to my bicycle-it may be possible to connect said rack to the aforementioned item.Try contacting the company or a skilled bike mechanic for further details.However,a picture or description of your bike would help me further in answering your question.

Will not fit your bicycle, and then will give you issue returning the parts. The axle will be too large to fit your frame

You may need a bar adapter like this: Allen Sports Tension Bar Bicycle Cross-Bar Adaptor It depends on the geometry/size of the bike frame.

The manufacturer may sell adapters that came with the rack separately but these connect with metric screws (6mm or similar range from memory) to braze-ons or tapped holes near the rear axle. If you are trying to use the actual rear axle dropouts to connect I don't know how you would do it. There is an outfit that has lots of well made custom rack hardware that I found: http://www.thetouringstore.com/TUBUS/Fit%20Solutions/FIT%20SOLUTIONS%20PAGE.htm and they may be able to help.

Yes, but only if your bicycle has the standardized rear mounting points. If not then I would not purchase this. I've known a few people who make their own mounting points and force the rack into position, seriously jeopardizing the rare section and the rack itself.

They seems to be standard size axle nuts/bolts, I wouldn't see why not. They have more expensive bikes that do, so I doubt they have different parts.

Yes. It has a hitch that fits on the rear axle of the bike. Additional hitches are available and are not expensive.

I think you can probably make it work. The rack is wide, and the height is easily adjusted, so I don't think fat tires would be a problem. The front stays swivel and extend where they connect to the rack, so you have a lot of options there even without bending anything. If you want to connect directly to the hub, I think you could do it by replacing the lower hardware with some kind of kludge (the standard hardware is narrower than the axle, so I'm skeptical about drilling it out).

I just put my bike on crooked using the frame, but it would no doubt be better and more stable if I got a cross-bar adapter such as the Allen Sports Tension Bar Bicycle Cross-Bar Adapter which is one of the less expensive of such bars available on Amazon. May be I'll order one, myself :)!

The hitch is designed to go on the wheel skewer of a bicycle. And the manufacturer suggests not exceeding a speed of 10 mph. Anything is possible, but probably not intended or recommended.

Yes, it comes with both a thru the axle hook up and a wheel nut adapter. The instructions are very sparse :-(My Grandson loves the bike trailer. The pictures will get you through :-)Geo

Looks like a standard frame, should fit .... You'll need a rear carrier rack to attach the basket.. if you're not handy with tools, have a friend who is do it.. make sure the basket is to the rear enough to clear your heel when peddling.

I am not sure, but suggest you check with a bike shop. Make sure you get the adapter with it if you need one - while I order it with the adapter, it did not come with it and I had to contact the supplier to have them send it.

There is an adapter that fits on to the bike rack before you insert it into the receiver hitch. The adapter allows the rack to insert into the 2" hitch and not move around.
