I think I want to put a drum brake on my Trek T200 and I'm wondering if it interfere with the hitch on our Burley? They go on the same side. Anybody have a clue?

Thanks,
Paul

I doubt it will work just as it is. Fortunately, Burley has an "Alternative Hitch" that replaces the QR and solves the problem.
