NP good luck with it.

If your trailer uses stub axles like what I am working with - post up what you find on wheels. I haven't had much luck yet finding stub axles. There are two common bicycle style hubs - cone and race and sealed cartridge bearings. You don't see too many sealed cartridge bearings on bicycles, per se (they do exist), but on trailers they are very common. Check out the Bikes At Work trailers for an example. They use composite wheels and solid axles with sealed cartridge bearing hubs. Interesting idea.

That all having been said - the "stub axle" type set up on the inexpensive kid trailers don't seem to have too many replacement parts easily available, at least that I have come across yet.
