Product Information
Full details
The Burley Steel Hitch is an essential accessory for cyclists who want to easily transport children or cargo using a Burley trailer. Designed for families and commuters, this durable steel attachment simplifies the connection process between your bike and trailer, allowing for quick swaps between multiple bicycles. While it offers broad compatibility with most standard bike frames, it is important to note that it is not compatible with Breezer-style dropouts and may require additional adapters for specific axle types.

FAQs
Will this work with my disc brake bike?
Yes, the Burley Steel Hitch is fully compatible with most bikes equipped with disc brakes.
Can I use this on a bike with full suspension?
Yes, the design is compatible with the frame dynamics of most full-suspension bicycles.
What if I have Breezer-style dropouts?
The standard Steel Hitch is not compatible with Breezer-style dropouts. You may need to contact Burley support to see if an adapter exists for your specific frame.
Is the hitch compatible with 12mm Thru-Axles?
Only if you use the specific Burley adapted Thru-Axle, which features the external threading required to mount this hitch.
Do I need to remove the hitch to ride without the trailer?
No, the hitch is designed to remain attached to the rear skewer so you can connect or disconnect the trailer whenever you are ready.
Troubleshooting
Hitch does not fit my bike frame.
Verify if your bike uses Breezer-style dropouts, as these are incompatible. If you have a different setup, check if you require an additional manufacturer-specific adapter.
My bike has a 12mm Thru-Axle.
The standard hitch will not mount directly. You must purchase the Burley adapted Thru-Axle, which provides the necessary external threading.
Trailer feels loose or makes noise during operation.
Ensure the hitch is fully tightened to the axle and check that the connection mechanism is properly locked. If upgrading from an older hitch, ensure you have the correct Flex Connector installed.
