B71-005

Took a chance and it paid off. I my options are quite limited because one of the bikes I might use it on has non-standard rear axle so I needed one that could attach to the seat post not the rear axle. This was the only one available for sale with the size and type I wanted.It's really good. Bigger than I expected as well. I use it as a shopping trolley around the supermarket. I wasn't using a car much in the town, it's now eliminated all my town car use.One thing that would be useful to get is a taller box that fits it. I used the box it came in for a bit but need something plastic. It's good enough for my shopping but a large weekly family shop might be an issue for it in terms of size if not weight.I've heard some stuff about low quality trailers but this is very strong and sturdy, the waterproof cover works exceptionally well. The frame is very sturdy, the connector is really good. Having the spring so it slightly bends seems to do a lot of good in keeping it smooth.The only thing that vaguely concerned me when I got it was the plastic wheels but they seem to be really common on this sort of thing, and are fine and sturdy and I can't see an issue with them if used properly. My hope is looking at them if it ever does come to it they should be replaceable.And frankly if that's part of the price for it being £70-80 instead of £170-180 it's worth it.The one other thing is how much weight it's made to carry. It's either 40kg or 50kg or maybe 60kg. Amazon says 40kg. The box I believe said 50kg and the instruction manual said 60kg (or vice versa I forget now) and that inconsistency is not good.

Fabulous item, well made, very strong and secure perfect for our needs.Arrived quickly and was well packaged. Highly recommend and would definitely buy again.

This trailer is great quality, but is let down by some questionable fittings.Assembling the trailer was 'fairly' easy, the only drawback was the bolts used for attaching the upright to the trailer itself. The top bolt fits easily with all three washers in place. The bottom bolt, however is a different story. The bottom bolt, being the same size as the upper one, just won't fit if you try using all of the included washers. It needs to be at least 5mm longer as there is more metal for the bolt to pass through than the top one has. Also, on a similar issue, attaching the securing lug onto your bike may, as it was with mine, be a problem if you have a more robust design (one using a thicker frame). I needed to replace the included bolts completely to make it fit.With all that in mind, if you have a few spare 3cm x 10mm bolts, I love this trailer. Yes, it took me half an hour to assemble (with a scrape to my wrist and hunting down the two replacement bolts), but actually putting it together was simple. The finished trailer is sturdy and will carry about 40Kg in the included plastic box (unfortunately it cannot be closed and only comes with a cloth cover).

I searched the internet extensively to make a choice of cycle trailer. There are so many, in a wide range of prices and customer reviews , so it was a tricky decision to home in on this one. It arrived on time with all parts and simple instructions. The steel pressed spanner and allen key you should ignore and get a ratchet spanner, a phiilips screwdriver and some grease ( or vaseline) to protect water entering for the wheel hubs. Whenever I assemble something that will see the light of day and some rain I will spray WD40 on all the bolts etc. The residue makes it easier to adjust them later and to avoid corrosion in a few years time.The trailer is well made. Another customer was critical of the welding, citing the fact that two welds had holes. These holes are there to prevent condensate build up within the tubular frame and are placed equidistant at the least critical weld points in the frame - so full marks for engineering design!Assembly is intuitive and the tow bar fixing to the bike stem simple and effective. Just make sure that the fixing clamp that holds the male connector for the tow bar sprung clutch is set with enough space under the saddle to reach and press the orange coloured clutch to detach the tow bar. ( Look at my photos) Attaching ( by pushing on) and detaching the trailer is easy.The plastic container is very strong - I sat on it to assemble the frame and it did not distort at all and I am close to 17 Stone in weight!The tyres pump up easily once you have made sure the pump connector is fully tightened to the valve stem but its hard work using a sports type pump. They are small tyres so it does not take much to get them hard enough - I gauged them to 40 lbs.The cover is excellent quality and fits exactly.I am so delighted with this trailer - all that research was worth it! I recommend it to anyone who wants a robust, smart and simple bike trailer.
