Sometimes in life it is the small things that make a big difference the instep bicycle trailer coupler.
If you have a instep bicycle trailer, and you might have more than just one bike it can get really irritating changing over the coupling device when all you want to do is get on your bike and ride. Well the SA074 is an extra instep bicycle trailer coupler that you can use instead how cool is that!! Plus it comes with a one year guarantee as well

| 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. |
Complete package including washer, pin, and hitch.

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. |
Easy and quick to install

| 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. |
Not a perfect fit, but works.

| 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. |
got just what I was after

| We needed a coupler attachment for our bike trailer and went straight to the manufacturer. They (of course) were out so I went to amazon and got exactly what we needed and for a cheaper price. It came to us within a week and works great. |
