This is posted on behalf of our small dog who is on strike
Hope someone out there can help. We are looking to buy a dog trailer for our small dog. The trouble is most of them do not seem suitable for fitting on a mountain bike.
The bike we have is a 'Specialized' and it has both quick release wheels and disc brakes.
Do anyone out there already have a suitable model?
These things can range in price from £70 -£150 so an expensive piece of equipment to buy in error
Thanks in anticipation

Thanks I did read this thread but we need one specifically for a bike with quick release wheels and disc brakes. Most of the ones referred to in this thread - from ebay - are not suitable for that type of bike, and it is often in the small print. Unless of course somebody knows different. Thanks for pointing us towards the thread though

Can't put my finger on one, as I type, but these things used to be made with a bar (incorporating a minimalist universal-joint) which clamped to the seat-pin rather than back axle.
I think you'll need to post a close up picture of your back wheel. The trailer I've got fits on the axle between the nut that tightens the wheel on, and the bike frame, presenting another shaft that the trailer connects to.
Without seeing the quick release mechanism I'm struggling to visualise...I thought they were just a quick clamp in lieu of the spanner-tightened nut. If that's the case, unless they react badly to losing 3-4mm of axleshaft length (possible), or don't clamp as tightly to the frame (unlikely or the wheel would fall off in motion), or make it so it's impossible to slide the trailer mount onto the end of the axleshaft (again, possble), I struggle to understand why they would preclude the use of the trailer mount.
As in the earlier post we bought a smaller version and OH made an extra bracket so it can be used on his mountain bike, and the original bracket that came with the trailer fits on my vintage bike.
