I selected the "round" option for my use.I have an old Avenir bike trailer which I had bought secondhand. It originally came with a crappy hitch that clamped directly to the chainstay and didn't work very well. Weighing my options, it looked like the Burley steel hitch was the only one to clear the eyelets on my Giant's unusual dropouts, so I tried this system out.I was able to bolt it directly to the trailer, and when paired with the steel hitch on my bike, had no trouble at all. It's a little finicky to get installed at first, due to the elastomer's flex, but getting the old one off was about the same.Note that Burley and Avenir/Raleigh probably don't endorse such a combination, but it worked great for me. The elastomer is about 21.5mm in diameter. This fit my trailer's drawbar just right, which has an inner diameter of 23mm.If you need a way to make your old Avenir (or other) trailer more workable, this is the ticket. It is a little on the expensive side, but you get what you pay for. The quality makes up for it. I'd definitely recommend.

Easy to fit, i swapped over to this connection on my bicycle trailer tent to stop it fish tailing when being towed due to the spring in the classic connection being too loose in the tow bar causing the the trailer to fish tail, now the trailer follows in line with my bicycle. reconmend this hitch with any bicycle trailer and safer on the road, have ordered another for my other trailer.

Ich hab's noch garnicht verwendet, habe es künftig bei größeren Reisen als Ersatzteil dabei. Es scheint mir das einzige Verschleißteil zu sein, was nicht so leicht durch Bastelei unterwegs ersetzbar ist - Burley Flatbed. Ich stürze leider ab und zu mit dem Rad. Der Satz ist sauber verarbeitet, keinerlei Kritik, auch keine an der kompletten Kupplung!Die Bezeichnug bei Burley ist 'Flex Connector', wäre nett das oben auch so zu bezeichnen! Ich wäre nie auf den Gedanken gekommen nach 'Burley Gummizapfen' zu suchen.

I have a Kidarooz Bike trailer, Costco sold them at one point and they are made similar to Croozer bike trailers they are a private company by Chariot.I looked at the Thule kit but they said theres wasn't compatible. I read other reviews and forums that said this Burley kit would work and it does!Installation was a breeze regardless in the picture below I had it installed upside down at first. I read instructions after the fact, and fixed it very easily I might add.The diameter of the lollipop (the black rubberry plastic piece is larger then the Thule version which worked out better because it removed the slop in the bar!In the image below it shows my old hinge mount style, to them side by side, then with the new burley connector inside, as well as the incorrectly installed upside down mounted to bike (I did fix it and flipped it so the strap is on top and clips in at bottom!)

This review goes with my review for the standard forged trailer hitch. I gave that five stars. I'm only dinging this by one star, simply because I think there could be a better way to offer a secondary hitch connection for backup/safety, other than wrapping a strap around the chain-stay and then clipping it onto a "D" ring. I can't think of a better way myself, but there has to be one - as I personally find this way a bit awkward. But the package works well; it is flexible (evidenced by one dropped bike and one flipped trailer on first day of use, and not a mark on the hitch or connector); it fit very well to the round tow arm. I would highly recommend this and the standard forged trailer hitch, if you are looking to upgrade from the original rear-triangle hitch connector, this pair can't be beat.

As the other reviewer mentioned, this is the full replacement kid for the square tow arm. It took me more time to find an 11mm wrench and allen wrench than it did to replace the entire hardware kit. All the hardware was top-knotch and what I'd expect from Burley.I installed the kit in a 2007 D'lite trailer that we purchased on Craig's list. I was told it had been used 3-4 times per year and the limited wear on the trailer overall leads me to believe the previous owners were telling the truth. The black "plug" (in the picture) came out of the tow arm without any resistance. It had a fair amount of wear, particularly around the four rings, and the pin hole for attaching the trailer to the bike was getting deformed. However, there were no no obvious cracks or major fatigue. The new plug took a good amount of force to get into the tube. Burley recommends replacing this hardware every 4-5 years (I think), so I understand now how it can be the weak link in the system. I kept the old parts as a emergency spares.

We have an XTerra trailer we purchased at Costco because we simply can't afford a high end one. However, my biggest complaint was the clamp on the XTerra. Not only did it scratch the heck out of our paint, was hard to use, and regularly came lose, but when I bought a new bike with disc brakes it no longer fit on my bike.This product solved our problems! It's literally a bolt on part...remove the old attachment and spring, slide this in, tighten the nut and it's done. I then ordered two of the Burley hitches, one for each bike:Best money I ever spent for this trailer. Now my wife and I can move it between bikes with a simply cotter pin. Tows better (no bouncing), easier to attach/detach, and an all around pleasure to use.For reference, here's the trailer we have:
