I'd rather have the brake lever on a longer cable so it could be mounted on a trekking pole. It is downhill when brakes might be needed. And it's downhill on slippery surfaces when trekking poles turn a human into a mountain goat
Interesting, I have a Specialized Hardrock. I got it used, it came with solid core inserts inside regular tire skins. I'm having trouble putting it back on, any ideas or hints to getting it back on? I'm down to the last 12 inches.
Terrible video, we don't need to see the filling of the tub or removal of old tyre or crap music, could have literally said " put tyre in hot water, will still be a struggle but hopefully a bit easier"
Bought mine just recently as i need a bit of stuff with me on my trips. CPAP & a battery for it made most loads to much even for my heavy-duty backpack, not to mention my body. I like paths less traveled so i tried it on a short trail up and down a forested valley with about 25kg of load. Be it elevation, thick brush, uneven terrain, mud or a swamp, it pushed trough it all quite easily making me confident i can bring it along anywhere that got a trail i can walk on. Climbing a mountain may be out, but that's about it. Unless you are going up a incline you will barely feel it on a even path or road. No long trips yet, but I'm just happy i don't need carry a heavy backpack on the next one.
these guys seem to want to appropriate a brilliant idea waste of time when we realize that they used a Caliper and math from little school. Why am I crashing into you?? pcq you don't give the basic information that everyone shares on the web AND you think you're making money by selling common bolts
This the second trailer for a bike i have seen and also the same connection with the bike.A connection that is to flimsy to last long in daily practice.Why not the connection with the frame off the bike??
I bought the Cyclone trailer mostly for shopping but found it is unfit for that purpose. The first reason is that the zip opens from the rear so the only way to prevent groceries from falling is to open it on the side. That is OK for a few items like but very impractical once the bag gets full (and then, why would you use a trailer to carry a pack of biscuits and a cucumber as shown on the video? Second reason is that the trailer cannot stand on its own so you have to constantly hold it with one hand, which is also impractical in supermarkets. I still use the trailer to carry bulky items that don't fit into my panniers or bring stuff to the recycling center and for that, it is very useful.
Not good! The bolt is hardly touching the nylon thread locking part of the nut. There should be at least a couple of threads showing beyond the end of the nut. You need bolts 5 - 10mm longer and the spacers need to be metal, not cheap plastic! Lousy engineering.
This is a great idea! Myself and other hunters train and can carry 300 pounds in our external frame hunting packs. Is thier currently a beefy version that can support 300 pounds? 150 kg?
Would this cart be suitable to use on the Appalachian Trail THRU Hike from Georgia to Maine... I'm 59 yrs old, so it looks like I could use such a cart on this next to impossible journey that may take me 2 years to complete, and from all the videos I've seen about the trail, there are many rough areas... Are there any stories on people using this cart on steep difficult rugged mountainous trails?
I bought mine 18 years ago! It was the first version with the "electric wheelchair wheels" (they looked much more beautiful). Apart from new Schwalbe tires it is still in pristine conditions after thousands of kilometers in France and nearby countries (with careful use, cleaning and storage). At that time it was 400 euros only. Believe me, this is the best one and most versatile you can buy. The only reproach is the outrageous prices asked for the accessories like the walking/towing bar or the wheels bag. DIY is your best friend as an alternative and it does the job perfectly.
