This video will show you how to install:
1. The Standard Forged Hitch
2. The Classic Hitch
3. Hitch Adapters
4. Nexus Hub installation
How to install your standard forged hitch:
To install the standard forged hitch, start by removing the rear axle from the bicycle. Then slide the hitch onto the axle with the attachment point facing outwards. Then simply re-install the rear axle.
How to install your classic hitch:
Unlike the standard forged hitch, which attaches to the axle, the classic hitch clamps to the bike frame. To install it, first make sure the clamp is loose. Then drop the hitch into its position as shown, and tighten the clamp.
How to install your hitch adapter:
All Burley hitch adapters are installed the same way. First remove the quick release or nut from the axle, and then screw the adapter onto the threaded axle end until tight. Slide on the forged hitch with the attachment point facing outwards and replace the quick release or nut to lock into place.
Nexus Hub:
To install a forged hitch on a Nexus hub, start by removing the outer bolt. Slide the hitch over the exposed thread with the attachment point facing outwards. Then replace the nut, and tighten into place.
