Hey Stu,

I would like to ask a question about your trailer.

I see that it has brakes ....

Are these just parking brakes? ...... ..... ...... or do you have them connected to the drawbar with a spring release telescoping over run type system similar to those found on light to medium car trailers? ..... if so how do balance each side?

I have been working on an over run trailer braking system, and I'm finding it almost impossible to achieve a correct balance under braking, with the trailer slowing and pulling up straight ..... I am experiencing slew and snaking braking to one side or the other.

I have to get this one perfectly right, as the trailer will be carrying up to 4 bike polo hacks, mallets balls and cones for my local Bike polo club for practice session here in Norwich.
