Description
Secure and simple trailer mounting for bikes with a 5 mm Quick Release axle
Our universal bike trailer hitch adapter for 5 mm quick release skewers makes it easy and safe to attach your bike trailer to most bikes with standard QR axles.
This adapter solves common problems like clearance issues, short axles, or angled dropout designs (hooded dropouts). It provides a stable and flat mounting surface, ensuring your trailer hitch attaches at the correct angle—without interference from brakes, frame, or wheel.
Common reasons this adapter is needed
- Your axle is too short to mount a trailer hitch securely
- You have hooded dropouts and can’t get a proper mounting angle
- The hitch touches the frame, brakes, or wheel
- The hitch feels unstable or comes loose during use
🔧 The adapter offsets the hitch mounting point 20 mm outward, improving clearance and safety.
- Universal compatibility with all trailers using rear axle hitches: Thule, Burley, Hamax, Nordic Cab, Croozer, Biltema, Jula, VidaXL, and more
- Works with most city, hybrid, e-bikes, and trekking bikes with 5 mm QR axles
- CNC-machined stainless steel for strength and durability
- Easy installation using only a wrench
- Includes adapter and locking nut
