The invention relates to a wheel fork, in particular for a jogger function of a multifunctional bicycle trailer, with at least one fork arm (1, 2), at the free end of which a dropout (3, 4) is formed to receive a wheel axle of a wheel (8), as well as a wheel axle which interacts with said dropout. The invention also relates to a system consisting of a wheel fork and a wheel axle. In order to provide an alternative possibility by means of which a wheel can be attached to a wheel fork it is suggested that the dropout (3, 4) be equipped with a movable latch (13) which can assume at least two positions, wherein in the first position of the latch (13) it is possible to fit the wheel axle in the dropout (3, 4), and that means be provided in order to hold the latch (13) at least in its second position, wherein in the second position the latch blocks the opening of the dropout (3, 4) at least so far that a wheel axle fitted in the dropout (3, 4) is held securely therein. It is also suggested that the dropout (3, 4) be mounted on or in the tube end piece of the fork arm (1,2) such that it can be axially displaced and locked in position, so that the track of the wheel (8) held by the wheel fork can be adjusted. Finally, a wheel axle for use with the wheel fork according to the invention is suggested in which a peripheral groove (36, 37) is provided at at least one of its ends in which the dropout (3, 4) and/or the latch (13) can engage, so that a wheel axle fitted in the dropout (3, 4) is secured against an axial displacement in the direction of the wheel axle.
