I have a Giant hard tail with Avid disc brakes. I'm wanting to tow an Instep single trailer for my son. Will with work with disc brakes on my bike?

It should do just fine. It is designed to be clamped in place on the outside of your bike frame by the nut or quick release that keeps your wheel in place. It fits flat against the outside of the frame; the disc brake is on the inside. There will be no interference. Not to mention, I bought it to move the unit back so my heel would stop catching the clamp version of the hitch. This is far better and safer I think.

Yes, Matt, this is what you want. Just use care with how you loop the backup tether near the brake disc. I used this to replace the clamp I had on mine. This works with my Gary Fisher Marlin Disc, my Fuji Newest road bike, and my Santana Visa tandem. With this, the pogo effect is also much less. I can stand and hammer if desired - definitely while my daughter is absent from it (I take her to & from dance class in it). In fact, I've fallen in with a B group while towing the empty trailer at an easy 20+.

As long as your axle is long enough to fit the mount I'd think it should be fine. It's like the thickness of about 4 washers.

I have used them with disc brakes without a problem and would imagine they would work with all types because it is simply a wire that is being pulled. Same in all cases.

Sorry, don't have disc brakes on my bike. No idea about the Surly. Any problem might be on where the u-bolt goes around the fork. On my bike the u-bolt sits 6 inches above the axle. You'll just have to check for clearance.

This is needed to be able to connect a bicycle and Scwinn or inStep trailer. I had to buy this because I bought an inStep trailer/ stroller secondhand and it was missing this piece. It works well on my 29" Ironhorse Sinister.

Yes, it's a little tricky in snow when it's stock and honestly sucks stock.. That's why after my first trip up north I took the coaster brake off, put a mtb rear disc hub, an adapter for disc brakes, hydraulic brakes and a mtb crankset with bashguard on. After that it's awesome, its still SUPER HEAVY but fun, my friends love it also.. Hope this helps and doesn't discourage you!

This fork is only for disc brakes. I am quite happy with it on my back up mountain bike.

I have a disc brake bike, I think it is called Giant XTC2, about 4 years old. It has no problem in the Yakima fork mount. I can't say for sure about your specific bike.

Go to your Harley dealer and ask. It will depend on which brake disc, your bike has.

I tried to install on my Trek Wahoo, 29" tires, with disk brakes. Didn't work. The issue is the disk brake prevents the trailer attachment from inserting all they way. I had to use my road bike instead.

It should work fine. I just looked up the bike you have and the trailer attachment part would just bolt onto the left side of the frame by the back tire.

Yes. We had a kid trailer hooked up too it for well over a year and the brakes held up just fine. Have since switched to a front kid seat near the handle bars and the bike still rides like a champ.

No it doesn't on my mountain bike with disc brakes. You have to buy a special carrier for that. From my searching, this is one that I found - Blackburn Ex-1 Disc Rear Rack; I haven't bought it though, so not sure it will work.

I own a Gravity Zilla cyclocross bike with disc brakes. Works great with this rack. if you have an indoor trainer you will need to remove the rack

I think as long as there is a bolt on the outside of your rear frame, you can use that bolt to secure the small attachment for the trailer. This attachment will remain on the bike, and you would just hook the trailer to it when in use. I don't think it would matter what kind of break you have.

Hey yes this fork will accept disc brakes or rim brakes. Let us know if you have any other questions! - Worldwide Cyclery

I have no experience with disc brakes, but, based on earlier reviews, there is insufficient clearance for mounting on a bicycle with disc brakes.

Yes this will also work for the InSTEP Quick N EZ Bike Trailer. Here is a link to the manual that came with your trailer and you will see the part number is listed at the end of the manual. https://www.instep.net/productInstepPDFFiles/127pdf-1.pdf
