Will the trailer hitch work on an MTB with disc brakes?

Sorry, have no idea. It just needs to have a long enough shaft to slip over and to tighten locking nut. Be sure nut is very tight because trailer load can cause nut to ship and slipthe hitch.

kind of brake doesn't make a difference. The hitch goes on the axel on the left side

As long as the outside of the drops are unencumbered. There is a piece of hardware that the axle goes through. The hardware is not large but needs a flat surface, I did find that it can be a wee awkward with a rear rack mounted (the mountain bolts were close to the axle).

Yep. It'll work fine. You can put a road cassette on a MTB rear mech., but not always the other way around.

It should do just fine. It is designed to be clamped in place on the outside of your bike frame by the nut or quick release that keeps your wheel in place. It fits flat against the outside of the frame; the disc brake is on the inside. There will be no interference. Not to mention, I bought it to move the unit back so my heel would stop catching the clamp version of the hitch. This is far better and safer I think.

Actuall they would work GREAT. That is if your trailer is wired for the brake and turn with the same wire. Some trailers are wired separately for these. You have two intensities with simple three wires to connect. If your trailer is wired separately buy two sets, you can't go wrong. I used these on the sides of my saddlebags on my bike.

I looked at the page and "V-brake compatible" I would not recommend use with disk brakes That being said you could try calling Shimano tech support Shimano American Corp. (949) 951-5003 to answer application question I would not trust a bike shop employee with this question

Obviously I cannot promise anything, but if the bike has a traditional front brake (that pinches the rim) versus a disk front brake it should work. The rack mounts to the front forks using the mounting points also used for a traditional front brake. I hope this helps.

It can not with the rear rack, but with disc brakes it can. Because I use a rack as well, I just switched to the Topeak Seatpost rack (http://www.amazon.com/Topeak-Beam-Rack-Type-Seatpost/dp/B000BR252I/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid;=1399737478&sr;=8-10&keywords;=topeak+rear+bike+rack) and then got the Pannier attachment so I can use my panniers with it (http://www.amazon.com/Topeak-MTX-Dual-Side-Frame/dp/B000BR113C/ref=pd_sim_sg_5?ie=UTF8&refRID;=1RVHP80FYR7SE7C535H3). Works great.

I have no experience with disc brakes, but, based on earlier reviews, there is insufficient clearance for mounting on a bicycle with disc brakes.

It will if you look at amazon and type. Aosom Bike Trailer Type 'A' Hitch Coupler that's the same kind of hookup. Just unscrew the back tire slip it on and screw tire back on.

I mounted this rack on my hybrid bike with 700C wheels (similar size to a 29er). My bike also has disc brakes. On the left side of the bike (where the disc brake caliper mounts), I added a 1/2" (0.5 inch or about 13 mm) spacer between the leg and the bike frame. I used a longer 5mm (M5) screw. With that modification, it works fine with disc brakes. The right side mounts normally. It is quite solid with the spacer. I didn't realize that this one wasn't specifically for disc brake bikes when I ordered it.

This should work with any bike with a disk brakes. Things to check: Thickness of the disc to make sure that the lock slides in.

There is no "easy" way to make a non-disc brake bicycle, that does not already have the necessary bosses to mount them, into one that is capable of running discs. Not to say it cannot be done. Anything is possible with enough fabrication skills. It'd be way easier to find a used mtb with discs and refit the brakes with these.

It does work with disc brakes. I mounted it on a 29er with mechanical discs. No worries?

It should work fine, and there is an adapter cable that makes it even simpler. See the following install video http://www.etrailer.com/Brake-Controller/Tekonsha/90885.html

They would work, but most mountain bikes use disk brakes. These are more appropriate for ordinary street use.

I tried to install on my Trek Wahoo, 29" tires, with disk brakes. Didn't work. The issue is the disk brake prevents the trailer attachment from inserting all they way. I had to use my road bike instead.

most of todays mtb frames are standard with brake mounts. So yes if your Giant has them. Forks also. Sometimes you may need adapters but they come with the brakes. Most likely an adapter on the rear as long as your frame has brake mounts. but not on the fork.
