In place of the rubber inner tube, I thought of using this.......... Using storm door safety chain items, can adjust to any length needed, and set for the tension needed, easy to install..........for controlling the swaying...

Hey Guys, I found the information for correcting the twitchy BoB type single wheel trailers. Now I have to find a bike inter tube............ Inner tube dampening system. BOB is your friend, but as all friends do, sometimes he gets a little too close for comfort, bouncing and swinging around...

Well, I'll have plenty of time, as I didn't draw any tags (again), so I can spend it on getting this bike trailer operating in perfect form. Finished 3 road tests, the last one with a 100#'s in the trailer, back towards the rear wheels. I did find out that the swivel/pivot point between the...

After finishing the 3rd road tests, the last one with a 100#'s in the trailer, back towards the rear wheels. I did find out that the swivel/pivot point between the bike attachment forks and main body of the trailer is very twichy and the slight movement causes over excessive trailer swaying. I...

PC Go to here to see the finished trailer, https://forums.electricbikereview.com/threads/revamping-a-bike-trailer.58994/page-2 I have been testing just the dual wheel version only, so far, have 3 smooth road tests so far. Handles very well, as for the corning aspect, with this dual wheel, when...

Run, I don't think that option will work very well, as each wheel has independent suspension. I kind'a think that plastic box would be destroyed, due to the bouncing action of each separate wheel. I have got front and back baskets already. Tia

Well Guys, The trailer is done, finished making the rear wheel brackets, painted and attached them to the trailer frame, just waiting on the attachment bobbins to hook up to the bike. Had to make a couple of special attachment brackets for the trailer attachment to the bike. Then I can start...

My favorite is JD, straight out of the jug and over the rocks once in a while, or Canadian Mist. If I am not going to do anything after darkness, a good shot in a cup of Jo before sack time. yrmv

TT & T That is just what I plan on doing, I just have to finish fitting the rear bracket to attachment to the bike. Then I'll start loading some weights and do some riding to see the results. Seeing that the OEM spec's are in question, I don't believe that they are valid, and as of this date...

TT How can I move any weights around?, When the bare trailer TW is 16#'s, before adding any weight? It is not possible to move any more weights towards the rear, as there is no room/area to carrying it. As I first stated, I believe that I am doing something wrong is the weighing tests, or there...

Land I am towing a trailer, but, if the trailer has small wheels, it just sinks into the sand/DG and you have a anchor you are pulling thru the sand. (Takes more effort to move.) With wide tires, they float and ride on top of the sand/DG and it easier to pull the trailer thru. (Less effort to...

TT I don't think that will work, if you move the weight forwards don't you increase the tongue weight?, and I can't move the weight any farther to the rear...... at 59#'s tongue weight for the 75# test, I think I am SOL..... Tia

Land Around here there is nothing but DG and sand, with abundance of rocks, narrow tires are a death sentence when traveling around here. Wide tires are necessary or you are pushing the bike to go anywhere. Tia

Well guys, something is not right, Did the first tongue weight test and here are the results, Bare trailer tongue weight = 16#'s (Dual rear wheels model) 25# added =TW = 12#'s 50# added =TW = 26#'s 75# added =TW = 59#'s 100# added =TW =65#s All weights were in the back 1/3 of the trailer bed...

Gets On those type of locks, there is 2 different lengths of locking shafts, the are the shortest and the older ones are 25 mm long. I use the older long ones for steering locks on my E bikes. Ebay has both styles.

RFTH Thanks for the information, still looking.... I just looked up recumbent bikes and they are all 3 wheeled, won't work for around here, needs to 2 wheeled like a standard bike. Tia

As an update, the steel got here, made a pattern to fit the trailer frame, attached it to the frame, fits and works, attached the rear frame/wheels, looks good. But, I was not satisficed, revamped the shock locking plates, for better strength added several bolts for more security, looking...

Hey Guys and Gals The better half wants to start riding, she has tried my 2 heavy weight hunting bikes, and does NOT like the weights, and afraid of falling over. I have seen a bike she might like, but want to do some research on it. I don't the proper name for it, but it has 2 wheels, and you...

BH Thanks for the info.
