The connection to the bike.

Step 4: The connection to the bike.

The bike connector is excellent, there is no need to mess about with it.
However, now that the trailer is slimmer, the current hinge forces the trailer to the left, giving it an ackward shift with respect to the bike.
This is solved by relocating the tube connector to the outside. It's just a matter of reversing (un bolting) the rig up.

How did you move the bolt on the trailer arm to the other side? Mine seems to be soldered in place. Thanks for the help!

No, mine was just bolted. I would be surprised if yours was bolted AND soldered. Maybe it is just corroded a bit and stuck.
Just a stupid question: are you turning it counter-clockwise? (just checking)

haha yes, lefty loosey, righty tighty. I've removed the nuts from the threaded ends - It's definitely corroded, but I've soaked it in CLR remover, and really worked on loosening it, but it still won't budge. No worries, I'll just keep mine nice and wide! Thanks for the reply!

Hey bertus, no worries, I'm just going to leave it nice and wide. Thanks for the reply though!
