Hacks / Bodges

I don't know, only found the pic, no description. Why would it be twitchy? The wheel just follows the bike, no?

assuming the hub bearings are very smooth, which they should be for a wheel to spin freely, then there's very little resistance to any lateral movement. so, especially with weight on it, the trailer would move left and right all the time, probably knocking you off balance, no?

The left right movement around the middle plane is what keeps you upright on a bike.
I think that's how singletrack trailers work too but have never used one, so could be wrong.

Are they rose joints where it attached the rear of the bike?

Looking at the pic i'd say yes.

Some idiot on Facebook managed to get a Surly nice rack on his carbon Specialized Sequoia forks

What, the same forks that have mounting points for a rack or bottles?

What a fool!

Bottles/anything cages. Racks = certain death

Nothing special but having transferred most parts from one bike to another barring the mudguards had to do a little improvising to stop the spray from the rear wheel the other day-

Plastic A4 document wallet folded over the rear rack and then held in place by the ortleib pannier. Worked a treat.

Three cable ties used to make cable guides for the headtube, stops any cable rub issues.

Not pretty but works.

(sorry big pics)

@pj2606 I like that! I'll be copying that one.

Top bodge!

If you have nail clippers you can neaten up the cut end of the cable tie a bit.

Or death. Depends how you look at it.

Either this is an epic re-post or THREAD OVER.

Think that's the one I spotted in stokey some months ago. Couple pages back

The threads first repost. Happy day
