        Installation

        You’ll only need an Allen key and a wrench. Here’s how:

        Step by step:

          1. Remove the Existing Nut: Unscrew the nut securing the rear wheel on the side where the trailer hitch will be attached.​
          2. Position the Adapter: Place the adapter onto the axle, ensuring it sits flush against the dropout.​
          3. Secure the Adapter: Use the provided locking nut to fasten the adapter in place.​
          4. Attach the Trailer Hitch: Mount your bike trailer’s hitch onto the adapter’s extended arm.​
          5. Final Tightening: Ensure all components are tightened securely, and verify that the hitch does not interfere with the bike’s frame or braking system.​

        FAQ

        FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

        How do I know if my bike requires this adapter?

        If your bike has a Shimano internal gear hub with a solid axle secured by nuts (commonly 3/8” x 26 threading), this adapter is likely needed to attach a trailer hitch securely.​

        Can I install it myself?

        Yes – just a wrench and basic tools needed. Very beginner-friendly.

        Does it work with my trailer?

        Yes, it fits all 2-wheel trailers that connect to the bike’s rear axle.

        Does the adapter affect the bike’s performance?

        The adapter extends the hitch point by 2 cm to ensure proper clearance, but it does not negatively impact the bike’s performance or handling.​

        My hitch hits the frame or brake – will this help?

        Yes. It offsets the mount point by 20 mm to provide clearance.

        Can I use one adapter for multiple bikes?

        Only if both bikes have the exact same setup.

        Is it safe for kids and pets in the trailer?

        Absolutely – tested for secure mounting and vibration resistance.
