Hi,
Same problem with my double BELL bike trailer: it keeps falling off. I can’t tighten it enough to my bike. I can’t find a website with any BELL parts. Any ideas? Chariot arm doesn’t work.

The place to start is with Trek. It is possible that Trek put their name on another brand of trailer. If you can figure that out, than you may be able to track down parts for that trailer.

Unfortunately, quite a few companies like Trek, Cannondale and other have introduced bike child trailers as a flash in the pan. They don’t stick around and support the product for the long haul unlike, Burley, Chariot and Croozer.

I have a trek transit (2001 model) which converts into a jogger. I lost the square towbar that connects it to the bike. Where can I buy the towbar? Any suggestions?

I don’t have a clear idea what the problem is. But one solution may be spacing out the hitch from the frame using an extra long quick release and some spacers such as these: http://www.biketrailershop.com/wandertec-quick-release-spacer-p-1564.html

I purchased a Schwinn child trailer and the coupler will not mount to my bike. I have a GT Aerostream cruiser and do not want to use a dremel on the chainstay to make room for the coupler. Any suggestions?

I’m not sure if this might be what you are looking for http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001B8EWCW/?tag=tbook-20.

The problem with off-brand trailers like Master Cycles is they offer very poor support with replacement parts and warranties.

Burley, Chariot and Croozer offer great support in all of these regards. Take a look at http://BikeKidShop.com for a great selection of these trailers.
