Complete package including washer, pin, and hitch. Jun 08, 2010
By iowaryder
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 to well thought out. Mar 17, 2011
By T. Boseman
"TIM-O-THY"
I've used this product twice and so far so good. Note to anyone buying this, you might have to do some altering to get it to fit (depending on your bike). I have three more recent bike models. All of which are geared, with quick release and of varying frame materials. Out of the box it fit none of them. My wife's bike which is around 8 years old worked fine. Since I was the one who was going to be doing the pulling, I had to make some serious changes to make it fit my bikes. After an hour of fine bending, grinding, sanding, painting and testing. I was able to get it on any of m y bikes.
The part is made of a soft alloy and made alterations easier, but I'm not sure how it effects the overall integrity of the product. After everything's said and done, more updating and R&D should have been applied to this product, but hey for $9 you can't really expect much.

Easy and quick to install Apr 16, 2009
By Derek
I bought this so we could pull our child trailer with both mine or my wive's bike. Takes only a small adjustable wrench to install. The lock pin U-clip is very firm. Best part of this setup is the child trailer will not tip over if you dump your bike.

Don't buy this here..... Sep 02, 2008
By April T. Henley
We have a bike trailer that uses this and it is great, easy to hook the trailer on and off. We are ordering a second for our other bike. Instep had been out of stock for a while and they have them again. I am glad I never thought to look here because it is $8.99 on the InStep website and for me in Michigan it is only $4 shipping. That's $12.99 total which is less than the price of the item only here on Amazon. Had I bought this here I would have paid almost $20 for the item plus shipping.

 Not a perfect fit, but works. Jun 13, 2010
By Jennifer L. Shick
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.
