[#6455164]

I have just picked up a second hand Chariot Captain XL child trailer, My bike has a 142x12mm Bolt Through Rear Axle although the trailer is provided with QR skewer as standard.

Have people bothered to buy the Thule Chariot Syntace X-12 142x12mm Bolt Through Rear Axle Adaptor or are there any other options?

The bike is a Five 29

Cheers

Kurt

I bought [url= http://m.evanscycles.com/products/kurt-kinetic/traxle-axle-ec054125 ]one of these[/url] and then drilled out the
existing attachment. It's worked fine.

Had similar problems with our new old chariot. You can't fit the long quick release hitch to a cowled dropout either. So I ended up buying a quick release hitch that goes around the chainstay from holland (that Madison don't import to the uk). Not sure what chain stays your bike has.

Thanks for that, the £80 for the thule one seems a bit steep, will give the traxle a go.

Thanks
