Burley Hitch

Alt Adapter

The Burley Hitch Alt Adapter enables use of the standard hitch on bicycle frames whose dropouts prevent normal installation of the hitch. The Adapter replaces your non-drive (left) side axle nut and allows the hitch to be installed without interfering with the dropout.

Burley offers the Alt Adapter in several configurations; check with your authorized Burley dealer to ensure that you choose the proper configuration for your bicycle.

Warning! Burley has engineered its hitches and adapters exclusively for use with Burley trailers. Use of any Burley hitch or adapter on a non-Burley trailer may result in an accident and serious injury or death.

Quick Release Adapter Installation

Open QR lever on your rear wheel and remove the adjusting nut from the opposite side (retain cone spring). In order to use the QR Adapter, your QR lever must be on the drive (right) side of your rear wheel. If necessary, pull the QR lever and skewer out of the hub and reinsert from the right side of the rear wheel.

Install the cone springs and thread on the Adapter as shown. Adjust the QR clamping force by turning the Adapter while holding the QR lever in the open position. Close the QR lever to secure the rear wheel. When properly adjusted, the QR lever will leave a clear imprint on the palm of your hand. If
