Will this trailer attach to a bike that has a quick release? Or is there an attachment that can be ordered that can be used with a quick release?

The attach works with my quick release, but barely...not sure if there are different quick release versions. The mount is about a half an inch in thickness and will only work if the circumference of your quick release is similar to the nut size on fixed end tires. I know that doesn't help much...it is a good trailer, but you are right to ask the question or be nervous about compatibility.

Yes this trailer will attach to a bike that has a quick release rear wheel if that is the question. The trailer comes with what is called a Booyah Bike Trailer Hitch that the trailer arm attaches to. The end of the trailer arm is flexible to accommodate for the alignment.

I have two bicycles that i use the doggy trailer. I have no problem attaching the trailer. Having said that I have not seen your bicycle, so I can notsay if you would need a long 'spindle", I would guess that your spindle would be just fine.

I am not sure. The trainer came with a quick release. That is how I use it.

I am no expert but I believe you will have to switch it out with the quick release that is included. I would check with company.

the attachment for the arm of the trailer works with both quick release wheels and plain bolts, so I'd think so.

I removed the quick release rod from the rear wheel of my cannondale, because it didn't fit the RAD equipment (too short). I put the RAD's quick release rod into the cannondale's rear wheel and it worked perfectly.

I am not sure what a quick release is but I have a 24 speed Trek and I just screwed the bolts into the rear wheel area. It was quick and secure and I felt comfortable when riding the bike.

I have 2 bikes one with and one without or older. It worked on the older but always seemed a bit precarious because it doesn't seat real well although they send a rod that you can use to replace your existing part with giving you the quick release. I just didn't bother doing it because I really wanted to use it on my newer bike.

I'm in the same boat. Their listing doesn't indicate that it cannot be attached to a quick release wheel. My brother was trying to install it and what he found was that you would have to take the bike to a bike shop and have it modified for a cost of $50. or more. The quick release problem isn't mentioned until the very last sentence in the installation instructions. Good luck!!

Hi Lisa, there is a black hitch on the end of the bar which you remove and bolt to the rear axle of your bike. Then you just connect the tow bar when you want to use the trailer.

It comes with a bracket to attach to the back frame of the bike. I actually have a trike and it wouldn't fit per instructions, but was able to make it work. The bracket stays attached to the bike and the trailer easily is attached or released. My granddaughter absolutely loves it!

This isn't a great answer, but we bought a used trailer for our daughter, and this was the only piece missing to attach it to the bike. It's been used on both bikes and stays on no problem. I wanna say it does, but not 100% sure, and not at home to check.

Hey Rachel I just ordered this a week ago and it attached pretty easily to my bike. It should have included an anchor that bolts directly onto the rear of your bike, on the opposite side of the rear derailleur. Search for username 'AOSOMCOM' on YouTube, they have a few instructional vids :) hope this helps, love the trailer!

My bike has no quick release either, and I haven't had any issues. I'm not pedaling fast, though, so take that into consideration. :)

It is very easy to attach and detach. The connector on the trailer itself just slides onto the hitch and is secured with a steel pin. Even if you don't want to keep the hitch on your rear axle, installing or removing the hitch is also very easy, if you have a quick release. You can find tons of how-to videos on youtube showing how it's done. Just search for "how to install bike trailer hitch". You basically open the quick release, remove the axle, add the hitch and put everything back. You just have to be careful that no parts fall out of the axle. The whole procedure will take you less than three minutes, even if you haven't done it before. Watch one of the youtube videos and you'll see how easy it is.

If you attach this trailer as it was designed to be attached, behind the seat post, it does not matter what type of brakes you have on your bike as the attachment point is not at the wheel.

There is a quick release that is mounted to the bike. It is quite easy to remove and replace the trailer. The hardest part is keeping your kid from running in to traffic while you do it.
