I have one for the grand kids and have put 160 lbs. in it and rode great.
You don't need to worry about all the stuff like hubs, wheels hitch as it's done already for you, you have a base to work with at much less than it would cost to build one.
You have already bought $32+ worth of stuff you could have made if you are really building the trailer?
problem is that if i want to buy something not ordinary (trailer is not ordinary in my country)...i wont find it locally...so only option i have is to order from Internet...well to buy trailer online even used will cost me only transportation more then 100$ + i have to declare to tax over 150$ products....thats reason i am building custom..i have figured out everything exept the problem regarding wheels i have mentioned...i am planning to attach my trailer to bicycle with thing i bought (check links above) and i am thinking to use bungee cord for attaching suitcase to trailer...well only problem is i dont know how to attach wheels...is there any hub with only one side working....????is there any brindge i could use to mount hubs?
