Pictures of your Trailers
I thought I'd start a new thread.
Not long been back from a trip shopping with mine.
Carry Freedom Y Frame (Small) with a home-made box wooden bolted direct onto the chassis.
For the observant:
Eggs
Bacon
Cauliflower
Bananas
Potatoes
Tomatoes
Carrots
Onions
Choccy Bikkies
oh, and 2 bottles of wine!

These look really good dont they. Love the colours your all using.
Mick, how does the trailer cope in hilly conditions? we are moving house later this summer and will be much nearer town. In fact we will be just 4 miles from town. I have been considering a trailer - Chas is gonna get a Santa list from me any day now! lol
But I will still have a megga hill to get up. And down.... Dont fancy the trailer over taking me!

I took the setup you see above, minus front panniers, over the Bealach na Ba, and over some Manx hills last summer - no problem. Even at 45mph plus, the trailer is fine... so long as you don't hit anything - a pothole or stone could tip it, with nasty consequences, so I take it a bit easier on the descents. Climbing is fine, if you've got the low gears!

Do you have a photo of how it attaches to the Brompton?
And can you still flip the back wheel under to 'park' or does the trailer keep the bike standing?
It uses a straight forward Weber hitch on to the rear axle - same as on the Trice. It clips on/off in a couple of seconds.
Yes, the Brommie parks as normal - there is room in the hitch length to allow the 'flip' into parking mode. It is really useful as it all stands up unsupported.

Brill.
Thanks keepontriking
Here's my excellent-but-heavy old Miklink with 50 bricks (total weight measured with bathroom scales at about 150kg) on board:
Hard work over the railway bridge, but quite do-able. The hitch places a significant proportion of the weight onto the back axle of the bike, making handling and braking work even with such heavy loads.
Certainly too heavy for touring, but for DIY and big supermarket shopping (or taking an adult on a deckchair!) it works very well.
