I bought one from Nashbar a while back, the bike I had the mount nuts on got stolen... Nashbar no longer stocks parts for that trailer, so now I have a trailer that cannot be used. Should have spent the extra money and bought the BobYak which I CAN buy replacement parts for.

the trailer arrived and had time to mess with it. my first impression is this aosom brand trailer was a good enough purchase for me. the trailer dose have sloppy welds like ive read about and the wheel drop-outs needed to be aligned before the wheel could even be put on. the bearings on the rear wheel are precision with dust covers not water proof. i did take off the tire to check everything to my surprise there is a thorn resistant tube inside very thick.
the box is heavy duty 3 cords thick good enough to save
bubble packed
homemade drop-out alignment tool set i have
2 - 3/8 8 inch stainless eye bolts, 4 - 3/8 grade 8 nuts, 4 - 3/8 grade 8 washers
finished and connected
here is a stock pic of the bicycle connector for related
