Hi, I have a question regarding a burly child trailer. I have tried to use the forum search tool but it does not seem to be working for me, so I am sorry if I am asking a question that has already been asked. I just got a new MTB that came with disks. I have a burly child trailer (I'm sorry, but I dont know which model, but it is one that has the hitch that mounts on the rear triangle) and I need to know if it would fit on my bike. It is currently hidden under stuff in my attic and I have no idea where it is and I dont want to take the time to find it if it wont fit. Thanks
It is unlikely to fit out of the box. It didn't for me. I had to use an alternate hitch for it. Burley sells them (http://www.burleygear.com/product_p/960002.htm) . The one I used basically replaced the QR skewer. It worked flawlessly.
HTH.
