Complete package including washer, pin, and hitch.

This part is identical to the hitch couplings that come with the InStep trailers other than it is a gloss black instead of a more matte black finish. One thing not mentioned in the product description is that this incudes not only the coupler and pin (as pictured) but also the special "washer" that mounts behind the hitch to keep it horizontal.

Often a concern or issue with the cheaper trailers is if they will properly mount to more "high end" bikes. The garden variety mass market retailer bikes (i.e. the cheaper ones) usually have a horizontal dropout for the rear axle where the more expensive bikes will have a vertical dropout for the axle. The hitches are designed with mass market retailer bikes (horizontal dropouts) in mind.

These hitches will work on either. With vertical dropouts rather than following the directions provided, you must instead position the tab that sticks off the back of the washer so that it will rest against the bottom of the frame instead of within the dropout as they are designed.

My wife an I each have one of these hitches on our Raleigh Route 4.0 hybrids (that have a vertical dropouts) and they work just fine. The hitches are also completely compatible with "quick release" style hubs.

Not a perfect fit, but works.

The washer part has a lip that is used to fit over the frame of the bike. With both bikes we've used this on it didn't fit exactly as it should. However, the coupler still attached securely to the bike and pulled a trailer without any problems. We use this with a Schwinn doubler bike trailer/stroller. We're happy with it and it's easy to hook up the trailer.

Its a hitch!

What can I say? It is the right hitch for InStep trailers. It was inexpensive. I am a happy shopper.

A Must Have!

if you have a trailer that connects this way, you must have a second. on a ride recently, my bike broke down and i easily switched the kiddos to my wifes bike so i they could keep moving while i got my bike fixed.

Item Arrived Just as Described

I received the coupler attachment promptly, and with simple directions for use. I even got a follow-up message from the seller to make sure that the item got to me.

Use this coupler to attach your Instep or Schwinn Trailer to almost any bike. It is a great addition to your family bikes, so you do not need to remove the couple from dad's bike, if your mom wants to pull the trailer with her bike.
