Coupler Attachment - InStep Schwinn Bike Trailers

It was super easy to install, fit prefect and was what we needed for our bike trailer. Definitely would buy again if we need one. We got the trailer from a friend but she forgot to give us that piece. She realized after when she trashed the bikes it was still on it. We just guessed and ordered this one and it works amazing and fits like a glove.

I needed to buy only this part for my pull-behind for my kid after my bike was stolen and this attachment was of course still on the bike. I was so pleased to see that it was readily available on Amazon, and for a good price. So far it has been keeping with my expectations, so I don't see any reason to not give it the full 5 stars. Its not like I expected it to come with a free bike or anything...

I bought a used Instep bike trailer/jogger. I’m new to this whole thing so I didn’t realize until I was attempting to attach it to my bike that it was missing this piece. Very grateful I was able to buy this piece quickly and affordably. Depending on how much we use the bike trailer we might buy a second, this piece gets left on the bike so having one on both parents bikes you’d be able to switch who was towing in seconds.

After a year of pulling approximately 100 lbs averaging over once a month, I found I needed to add strength to the hitch as it began bending. I first made a prototype gusset out of 4ct building tie down straps (~ 3/16"T total) then went to a solid metal flat bar 1-1/4"W. I cut 5"L and rounding corners. I drilled 2ct 13/32" holes for the axle and hitch hub mount. A stainless steel 3/8"d x 3/4"L bolt with lock washer to mount hitch in which I also cut out for the key way washer that comes with the hitch using a metal cutting saw blade. A # 8 stainless steel 3/4"L bolt to mount as security to the bike frame tail drilled @ 3/16". 4ct #6 s.s. 3/4"L bolts (2ct top & 2ct bottom) of the hitch drilled @ 5/32" using cobalt drill bits to drill through the bar as also the 5/32" hitch holes (using a metal punch to start the bits cleanly while hub bolted and clamped at center top). Titanium bits can work but have a tendency to break. Keep the bits oil cooled while drilling. Being that I know the hitch is not for industrial use as I use it, for children involved, the gusset is the way to go for added safety. I recently ordered another hitch and again, extremely pleased with the fast shipping. Nevertheless, for the design I give it five stars.
