I am new to this forum, my question is my new Burley d'lite has a bar that hooks
to a traditional bike on a 45 degree angle at the chainstay, its at a 45 so that
it never hits the tire of a traditional bike in turns, there is my problem, with
about a 10 degree turn it hits the tire of the usx, have you had this problem?
plz share your thoughts, THX!

Hi Jason:
If you could post some photo's of the Burley connection that would help. There are a number of members here who probably can solve your problem.

Hi Jason: I'll take a shot at this.
In your case, I would suggest purchasing an electricial bracket hanger the diameter of the
rear tube of the USX. The electral hanger is the same shape as the letter "P". Put a piece of tape around the rear tube, mount the "P" shaped bracket pointed down and bolt securely. Then attache the Burley bracket to the "P" shaped bracket using the same bolt.
Always use the safety strap included with the Burley Bracket. Test the trailer connection by pulling the trailer with some weight in it. Let us know how it works. If you have more then one USX trike then I would suggest using the USX Coupler/Hitch. You can connect both trikes together or you can use the hitch on the coupler to pull your Burley.
I have photos at he following. http://community.webshots.com/user/jake1944
Have a great day!
Jake
