Howdy, Folks!
I won't bore you with a lot of details about the project in this post because most of that stuff is covered down in the previous post about it. I just wanted to let you know that I'm calling this one finished. I mention in this new video that the trailer is not a lightweight racing machine. I then had to weigh it out of my own curiosity and with the tongue attached it weighs in just over 23lbs. I have no idea if that's heavy or not for a bike trailer but it seems reasonable enough to me.
Since the last post here are the things I've checked off the To Do list to wrap it up:
1. chopped up and welded on some rear reflector mounts
2. added a decent reflector to the right wheel (original was all corrupt from UV punishment)
3. bolted the floor down to the frame
and
4. sorted out the reinforcement for the hitch
Here's a completion/update video just for fun:
Great hitch design. How did you attach the air hose quick connects to the castor wheel? It looked like a couple of drywall screws, but that doesn't seem too sturdy?
