How you can attach a bike trailer to your sustainable means of transport depends on the manufacturer and system of your bike model. In addition to quick-release systems, quick-release axles are also used, for example. Here you can find out everything you need to know about couplings and adapters for "Croozer" brand bike trailers.
All thru axles with adapter, suitable for Croozer from 2018, are equipped with an additional, free-running sleeve. This protects the quick-release axle against disassembly when the drawbar is locked.
What is a thru axle?
The classic quick release has a competitor in the form of the thru axle. Initially used in the mountain bike sector and for electric bikes, you no longer only need special bicycle trailer hitches and adapters for e-bikes. It is quite possible that a thru axle is also installed in your city bike.
Thru axle or quick release: What's the difference?
Bicycle trailer couplings and adapters for bicycles with quick release are common systems. Here, springs hold the wheel axle between dropouts that are open at the bottom. You set the desired tension with a screw nut and open a lever to remove it.
With thru axles, the fork and the lower dropout of your bike frame are closed. You insert the wheel, push the one-piece thru axle through it and screw it tight opposite. This automatically fixes the wheel correctly with the correct tension. To remove it, unscrew the nut on the thru axle.
Advantages and disadvantages of bikes with thru axles
Thru axles and quick-releases each have advantages and weaknesses.
