You'll have to excuse if any photos are fuzzy or out of focus but we had a foot of snow lastnight and it was COLD taking these pics

Here's a few more pics of my setup - U-bar and all.



- Hitch setup in Dismantle Mode.


- Pannier Rack upright bar assembled.

- Side View

- U-Joint slips over the Black section on the right. I think you'll know get the idea where the back wheel goes?

The U-Joint will be attached to the trailer at all times via the Big Silver Bolt. The trailer will be able to slip on and on/off the hitch attachment at the back of the bike via the small loose bolt you see on the upper left. I may use bolt or an R-clip or Padlock for this attachment?

All attached. All thats missing is a Bike on the Left & a Trailer on the Right.

Here are 2 U-Joints. As you can see the one im using is way bigger than the other (I didn't have the smaller one when making hitch) I think the smaller of the two came from a toolkit? I may use smaller one if I can get it drilled out?

Note... If you choose to go the way of the U-Joint Hitch Setup you'll have to have some mighty fine drill bits as the material these are made from? is vary hard to drill through.

The U-Bar around the back wheel was basicly just a piece of flat bar put in a vice and heated then bent in the right places. The Upright bar you see is needed to stop any up/down movement of the the U-Bar.

U-Bar is attached to the bike via 2 small bolts either side of the wheel where you'd attach a mudguard.

I hope this has made things a bit clearer for you?

I'll take a few more photos of everything attached to bike once I finish painting it all. At the moment im just on the undercoat.
