• He also brought me this trailer that he wanted rid of.

    It’s meant to work with the qr skewer which is no use to me since I don’t own a single bike with a compatible rear hub/axle but I reckon with a little bit of work I can sort something out.

    Might also modify the trailer a little as the wheel is pretty shoogly.

  • I've got that trailer. Its a Ridgeback brand (or at least mine is - Adventure I think). The bag is great. I also got mine for free.

    I didn't have the QR skewer at first and the clamps were broken so I attached it to some bolts through the mudguard eyelets on an old Raleigh Record Ace. Worked ok. I've got the axle now though.

    I used to get tons of groceries on that thing. Super stable once you get used to it.

    Not used it much in a while but it spent 5 years outside unused and is still fine. Currently in a pile up my shed.

  • Cool.

    I saw you can get 10mm nuts with the ball end thing to use it with a solid axle but they are pretty pricey so I was going to grab a pair of those axle extenders for stabilisers from halfords, braze a nut on the end and the turn it ball shaped on the lathe.

    Looked them up to post a pic,

    And turns out they are pretty cheap from SJS so will probably just grab a set from them.
