Burley Steel Hitch
About Burley Steel Hitch
The Steel Hitch provides the critical connection from your Burley Trailer to your bicycle. The hitch installs easily on the rear skewer of your bike, and then stays attached so the Burley can be connected at any time. If you’d like to swap the Burley from bike to bike, pick up a couple spare hitches and install them on the extra bikes so the hitch doesn’t need to be un-installed when swapping bikes.
The Steel Hitch will fit most bikes out of the box, but if you have a breezer style dropout or another unusual setup, you may require an adapter.
• Works with disc brake and full suspension
• Does not fit Breezer style dropouts
• Fits QR axles and solid axles up to 12mm
• 12mm Thru-Axles will require Burley’s adapted Thru-Axle. This replacement axle has external threading to accommodate the installation of our axle mounted hitches.
If you are upgrading from a Classic Hitch to a Steel Hitch, you will also need to purchase a Flex Connector: Part # 950038 (square tow bar) or Part # 950037 (round tow bar).
About Burley
Founder Alan Scholz started a small company called Burley Bike Bags and relocated from Fargo, North Dakota to Eugene, Oregon in search of a cycling-friendly community. The Burley name was inspired by his wife Beverly, a bicycle racer known as “Burley Bev.” The couple sold their handmade bags at Eugene’s Saturday Market, a 30 mile commute from their rural home. Determined to live a car-free life, Alan needed a way to carry his bags and young daughter to the market by bike. Using parts from an old swing set, he built the first Burley trailer. Local cyclists and bike shops began to notice Alan’s trailer around town, and it wasn’t long before orders started pouring in. In 1978 Burley became a worker-owned cooperative. The co-op built a reputation for safe, durable products and the name “Burley” became synonymous with “bicycle trailer”. In 2006 members sold the company to Michael Coughlin, a local community leader, outdoors enthusiast and Oregon native. Today, Burley is known around the world for building recreational transport gear that sets the standard for safety, durability and thoughtful design. We put our heart and soul into everything we build. The Burley brand stands for unmatched quality today, just as it did in 1978.
