SH and trail a bike

[Jeff Zelevansky]

I just got a new to me Hillborne and was wondering if anyone out there has used the Burley Moose rear rack to use a trail-a-bike setup on a Riv. I’ve been using this setup on my aged Surly CC and can’t imagine it would be an issue on my new ride, but thought I’d ask before I disassemble.

I should be terrific provided you have the hardware to get the Moose Rack nice and level on your Hillborne.

I used one of those, but it was mounted to old mountain bikes mostly.  I can't imagine why it wouldn't work on a Sam Hilbourne since it probably has more and better braze-ons.  I'd maybe  measure the vertical height from your lower mounting point to the top of the rear tire/fender, to make sure you have clearance under the top of the rack.  Is there some other specific condition you're worried about?  Should be fun!

Yes, I've used one on both my Hillborne and Cross Check, it works great on both bikes.

It works great and this seems to be a near infinite way that you can adjust the frame mounts.  The only problem might be if you could struts two short but then again you would be able to a new set of
