Thule Adapter Shimano Nexus/Alfine hub gears
Hoi - This adapter is only suitable for axles that have a hub gear. That's the "Nexus/Alfine" in the name. As you have a quick-release lever, this is almost certainly not the case for you, you probably have derailleur gears. These axles work completely differently and have different nuts. So this part does not fit. However, Thule also has an adapter for your problem. There is a document from Thule called "Adapters to fit your Thule Child Carrier to your Bicycle", the 2nd part of the document is in German. It recommends the product "Thule spacer" for your problem, at Galaxus it has the article number 7180376, but the reviews are quite mixed, especially because of the price. This spacer would give you 10mm more space. As you write that the stand "almost" touches the clutch, this could be enough. However, more space is not recommended anyway, as the clutch also needs to be stable. If the quick release would be too short because of the extra 10mm, you can almost certainly buy longer ones, which are usually quite cheap. Good luck and have fun!
No, this is a 3/8'' thread.
Just check your gear hub, when is says shimano, you need shimano...
Hello, I also bought this adapter, but I didn't need it for the assembly. The assembly was done by a bicycle mechanic. According to his statement, this part is useless (in my case). Is your hub axle too short for mounting the axle coupling without the adapter?
This is the only part included in the delivery. The ezHitch attachment must be purchased separately: Thule Chariot Nabenkupplung ezHitch
