    Trailer hitch

    Hi, you would use a step drill to enlarge the hole, I have one if you wish to borrow it. You could make a wooden jig that holds the bracket in place, a bottom with a box shape in top with the sides pressed against the bracket. Another option is to put a piece on top of the non drilling hole and...

    Trailer hitch

    I got one of these made out of stainless steel, you bolt one end to the bike axle then bolt the normal hitch and this together with a 10mm bolt / nut. If you want let me know. The measurement from each hole is 22mm (measured on centre line).

    Argument on the cycle path this morning

    Hi, I had an argument with a fellow cyclist this morning. On my route this is part of the cycle path that goes under a bridge, the entry and exit points have an incline, you cannot see who is entering the entry and exit when you are in the middle. I usually ring my bell when entering and...

    Any ideas for filling space between BBSHD axle and bottom bracket?

    Hi, 3d printed sleeve / tube, I don't have a 3d printer but have a CAD program. If you give me the dimensions I can draw you the sleeve / tube. Maybe somebody on here has a 3d printer and will print you the required part.

    Fitting marathon plus tyres

    Hi, I was fitting a pair of marathon plus tyres and after struggling to get the last bit on it was time for a cup of tea and YouTube. I found this video and it does work,. I would use replacement zip ties next time as they are a pain to cut off once tightened. Enjoy

    Case studies - how has your electric bike changed your life?

    Install hitch for bike trailer on 12 mm axle

    What you could do is drill a hole / cut a v shape underneath the centre of the 10mm hole. This would have to be the same width as the tab, this way you just bolt the new bracket to the old one and put the tab in the new hole. If you pay the postage I will send you one for nothing, I will have...

    Install hitch for bike trailer on 12 mm axle

    I don't mind redrawing the design with a dropout shape at the 10,mm hole end and sending it to you. The lines would be straight vertically, if you want angled lines I need to know the exact angle. You could then contact a laser cutting company and ask them to make you a bracket. The companies I...

    Install hitch for bike trailer on 12 mm axle

    Hi, I based this design on my trailer hitch (see picture), you could probably design a multitude of configurations. I plan to.put a 10mm bolt through the new bracket and trailer bracket. This might or might not fail, the new bracket is 5mm thick (might be too thick) so should be strong enough...
