Single wheel light weight bicycle trailer.

I'm not sure where to put this. if it will fit somewhere else better by all means move it on. A few weekends ago I built this single wheeled trailer for camping on the moutain bikes. I took it about 20 - 25 miles over really rough terrain with about 15 lbs weight on it seemed to work very good.
I used an old 26" bike front fork tube and wheel. I left brakes intact to eventually hook them up for stopping power. The frame of the trailer is conduit. the hitch part is a u joint assembly from a cars steering column. i welded a collor to the u joint assembly then drilled a hole in the collor welded a nut over the hole and by use of a bolt you can tesion the collor to the seat post. the trailer will pivot up and down and side to side by use of the u joint. The whole trailer assembly weighs about 12- 15 lbs. rolls very easy and as you can see will hold up up to 80 lbs (the 2 cinder blocks at 40 lbs a peice.) I would not recommend anything this heavy. a tent a few supplies and off you go. keep it to 25 to 30 lbs load on this lightweight rig. I pulled this behind my mountain bike for the day and was very impressed. It pulls very easy and is very agile. I also attached it to my motor bike and down the highway up 30 mph no problems. It is narrow so cars didnt seem to mind either.

I built this to use with a tote as a cargo box, but an Ice chest cube fits nicely too. Also show in this picture is the neck brace i welded to the trailer. Next is an assembly to haul our kayacks.

So no comments? does it look that bad? it really does work very good used it again this weekend on another off road trail.

the frame is made of conduit. Like electical conduit from home depot or lows or simular place. most of the frame is 1/2" the neck is 3/4 the brake are in the process of being hooked up although I havent needed them yet. i'm thinking about putting a little friction drive motor on it to pull its own weight.
