The least complicated prospective mounting point, mechanically
speaking, is the seatpost.
The obvious difficulty with seatpost mountings is that the hitch has to
clear any rear luggage rack. I bought a new trailer that did not have this
property, and eventually bolted on the hitch from my old trailer instead.
up the combo is pretty difficult, though. Under hard braking, especially
on loose surfaces, the trailer-bike had a tendency to jackknife, I don't
know if 2-wheel trailers are superior in that aspect,
2-wheel trailers are pretty hopeless on rough terrain, given their
tendency to flip on bumps - especially at speed. A 2-wheel trailer is really
suitable for pulling relatively large loads slowly on tarmac; bringing the
groceries home at 15mph, or whatever. I would always use a 1-wheel
trailer if I wanted to travel long distances and descend at speed.
