I made this rust-proof bike trailer for a local homeless guy and it lasted 6 months of intense use and abuse. Although the bucket and wheels needed to be replaced the trailer frame was still good to go!
Wow. Did he crash it, or did it get hit by a car? Puzzling over how the wheel got bent like that. Also was wondering how the melted flat spots you did for the wheels held up? This looks like something I might try to throw together.
He got hit by a car. It sent the trailer flying and bent the wheels... frame was fine. The areas we flattened for the wheels have held up fantastically.
Cool trailer need plastic wheels to stop rust n theres nothing stopping you , onwards and upwards forever , easy to modify easy to repair too, im prposing to make the bed of trailer 5-6’ long to carry airguns n cases to range n back. but getting a good supply of 1.5 -2” pvcs a joke atm ?
The 2" Schedule 40 is the way to go. Plenty strong for whatever. Can make an entire bike out of it. If you need the trailer then it is still worth it... it cost me about $100 in materials here on Kauai where it is probably a bit more expensive then where you are at?
@@xvsupremacy7190 All good, I see him and the trailer several times a week! I told him that it has a "lifetime" warranty on it. The frame is rock solid.
Oh nice, lemme know how it goes. I am actually looking to do the same to transport my airsoft gear on the way to the local field and back. Just gotta figure out the best design to keep them covered and dry.
What type of wheels would you recommend? Im looking on amazon and i must be looking up the wrong key phrases or something. Im looking for ones that can hold a lot of weight. Thank you in advance!
