Instep & Schwinn Sa075 Bicycle Bike Trailer Coupler Angled Elbow Trailer Hitch
This is the part needed to connect a Schwinn or InStep trailer to your bike. It is called a coupler, but it acts like a trailer hitch for your bicycle. It allows a trailer to be connected and reconnected on a daily basis without tools. All trailers usually come with the coupler that works with that trailer, but it can be helpful to have an extra installed on additional adult bikes, so different riders can take turns pulling. The installation requires the removal of the nut that bolts on the rear wheel. Once it is on you will be able to hitch and unhitch the bike before or after a ride easily. Comes with three parts; coupler plate, lock washer and a locking pin. The 25-SAO75 model coupler fits Schwinn and Instep trailers manufactured after October 25, 2016 (AF). If your trailer was made before, 10/25/16 look for part number 25-SA074A to be compatible with your trailer. If you are not sure of the date of manufacture of the trailer, look for a date code on the tow bar of the trailer usually on a sticker. Look for a #2 stamped in the metal of the tow bar to confirm that it was made after 10/25/16. If you are not sure, call Schwinn and InStep customer service 1(800)626-2811.

Does NOT FIT ALL We had ordered the wrong size before (too small) so when we got it I quickly checked if it was the right size without looking at it too closely. We bought it right before leaving for a month so we didn’t really try it out. Now that we’re back, we hooked it up on the bike and tried to attach the trailer, and we realized that the holes on the trailer are vertical and the holes on the item are horizontal (or vice versa, they just don’t align)… We have to turn the trailer part pretty hard to…
This works for my instep double trailer and cannondale bike …
