    Fat tire trailers

    The 2 whl cart is also sold as the ´rambo bike cart´ & cabellas also has somthing very similar. I love that single whl. trailer.

    Yes, they are meant for axle mount; the one in pic has special mounts I´ve made. Unfortunately Im having to use the axle mounts on my current project,(hybrid gas/electric bike), because there´s no other way if I mount the 3 liter fuel reserve.

    Replacement rear wheel for Vado 4

    Alzo, b4 every ride now i preflight check tires, spokes, wheel true, & brakes. It´s worth the effort. You may also have damaged or worn spoke bores on yur hub. If that´s the case, it will only get worse with time.

    Replacement rear wheel for Vado 4

    My broken spoke issues were directly related to the tires i was using which had flimsy stdewalls that bottomed out on bumps & holes. They were also rated for too little pressure to adequately support my weight. Since going to better tires I have not had a spoke issue in 4000 miles. Still it can...

    One thing I´ve found about a heavy bike, they will carry momentum once they´re rolling good. As long as I´m not climbing mine doesn´t need a lot of juice to maintain speed.
