I am using a Halfords trail Buggy to take my daughter out - it relies on a bike with a flat dropout to attach an adapter like this too:
http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_729517_langId_-1_categoryId_165542

I have two bike s- the nomad, and a ribble rd bike. I want to use it with the road bike but this has cowled dropouts.

Anyone think of an idea/adapter to connect this? I am thinking of an adapter to clip to the seatpost? Any ideas?

this is the trailer (not my pic)

Take a dremmel to it? Or use a series of washers to hold the hitch 'further out', as I do on my dmr.
Or... Change the whole hitch set up for burley stuff, and get the bit that sits in the rear triangle as opposed to on the axle.

I suppose some thick washers and a longer QR would work? Where can i get an extra long QR skewer?
