I have a 1964 Raleigh Sport, no quick-release tires here. Will this cart easily attach/detach to my bicycle?

To me it seems that a quick release would actually be harder to use this trailer. The anchor for the traier attaches behind the left axle bolt. As long as you have a standard axle it should fit fine.

It should, I just loosened the bolt it slip on then re-tighten. I left it out in the weather and the Wheels started to rust!

I had to drill a hole into the plate that holds my wheel (forward of the axle). In order to attach it to the actual axle bolt, I was told I'd need to buy a whole new wheel with a longer axle. Drilling the hole was the best idea and has not compromised the integrity of the steel that holds the wheel in place. Now that I have that set up, its a very fast connect, disconnect. If I could attach a photo I would but I don't see where that's possible.

My bike had no quick release either. It took about 3 minutes to install, just a good wrench set.

Probably depends on your bike (and width of tires) and how crafty you are when you take the front wheel off and put it by the rear tire/frame. I have big tires (beach cruiser) and there's no chance. I use a thick braided-steel cable in conjunction with this when I'm concerned with the area (I don't have quick release wheels).

as long as you don't overload it as it is quite big and gets heavy fast. but depending on your personal strength it does come off the bike easy. (assuming its empty or in weight range)

Mine were equipped with quick releases! The wheels are somewhat heavy but sturdy after tightening the spokes several times in the first days of use. On mine the spoke tension was not really tight at delivery status which could cause untrueing/damage if used as intended. They came without rim tape.

I am not sure what a quick release is but I have a 24 speed Trek and I just screwed the bolts into the rear wheel area. It was quick and secure and I felt comfortable when riding the bike.

Yes - the bike I have installed has quick release hubs. I am not aware of a recommended weight limit.

No. Wheel too small and most golf cart wheels have a cover that prevents good attachment

Sure but the bike might be longer than the tire tray, check spec's. The carrier is built well, the basket is a little flimsy so I added supports under the basket which also helped eliminate the tilting / rocking back and forth. Very solid...

The only connection is to the hub. If your bike has a fairly typical rear wheel quick release hub, it should be fine.

it depends on your bike.mine had a quick release mechanism,so it could easily slip in. Then i had a quick adjustment to make it screwed down,so it cant be removed and stolen,easily

Yes, I use this stand on a bike without quick-release. (I would suggest adding an extra nut on the left side of the axle so that the axle centers in the pocket. Any bike shop will have the nut that you need.

Wheels are hard rubber not pneumatic with tubes. The washers they supply with the cart fit a little loose so it's kinda wobbly. I got some washers at Menards to tighten up the clearances on the axle so it rolls a little quieter. It's still a little noise for my liking especially when I pull it behind my mountain bike.

Yes it will, I have quick release on both wheels and found its much easier to install this way. I leave the mount attached regardless of whether I'm pulling the trailer or not

If you have a rear wheel quick-release lever, it will not connect properly, but it should work on most others. It came with what was needed. Here are the assembly instructions from the manual, it may help you: 1. Loosely assemble the basket clamp using the short screws and nuts. 2. Set the basket on the rear tire and loosely assemble the neck clamp to the basket clamp using the long screws and nuts. The seat stay tubes of the bicycle frame will go between the basket and neck clamp. 3. Legs mount to either rear axle or the rear dropout eyelet so that the carrier is level. 4. If mounting to axle, remove axle nut one side at a time. Put the leg on the axle and tighten axle nut. 5. Repeat for the other side. 6. Tighten all the bolts and nuts.

I have quick release on both tires. These work fine except don't put pressure on them - they are not stands. Try to lock your bike in a position that allows this and when you put your bike in a car and take the wheels off try not to bend or press them. My front one has a slight warp but I also had it resting on the fender without a wheel in my wife's car for a couple of hours. Otherwise these are great.

I'm in the same boat. Their listing doesn't indicate that it cannot be attached to a quick release wheel. My brother was trying to install it and what he found was that you would have to take the bike to a bike shop and have it modified for a cost of $50. or more. The quick release problem isn't mentioned until the very last sentence in the installation instructions. Good luck!!

There is a disconnect part they supply to permanently attach to the rear wheel. It does take a minute to disconnect the cart arm from the disconnect part, but is fairly easy to work with. I purchased a second disconnect part to put on my spouse's bike just in case we wanted to switch out pulling the cart. Having the second disconnect part is much easier versus removing the disconnect part from the wheel.
