Anyone towing a trailer with a Nexus/Alfine 8 bike? Hitch attached to the axle?
I'd want to be able to pull my homemade trailer with my Nexus 8 equipped hybrid. The hitch uses a 1/8" plate held against the left dropout by the axle nut. But since this hub uses thick anti rotation washers, the plate will sit on the washer rather than on the dropout. Could there be any issues with that (like a bent axle, etc.)? Would it be better to make a new hitch plate to attach to the chainstay and seatstay (this is a steel frame, my trailer is fairly heavy and I carry 30/40 k on it often)?
