Help.

What trailer can you use with discs brakes. I've got a Cove HandJob and the quick release clamp for the trailer will not sit far enough back on the chainstay so that a I can pedal. I can't swap to V brakes as the frame has no bosses.

Do any trailer get around this?

I have a Croozer, not cheap but worth the money, fits all 4 of my bikes.

Ours used to slip backwards & foul the disc.
(Its shown on mt road-bike)
So I took off the clamp & made one to go behind the Q/R.
When I get to nursery I simply unclamp it in a few seconds.
I know, it needs painting, but its a lot better than the old clamp.

Got a Chariot which works fine on my full-sus with discs since it fits to the QR (IIRC the Croozer uses the same or a very similar mount). Attaches very easily without having to touch the wheel QR, since there is a bracket which stays on the bike with a ball joint. The only issue being I had to file the mount down a little to fit in my cowled dropouts.

Would definitely recommend a Chariot - though a Croozer is also a good choice for rather less money (I like the idea of the suspension on the Chariot, though never quite sure how useful it actually is).
