I did find a problem with that trailer after i built it, the bits of dexian that the wheels fit to are spaced perfectly for each wheel, which means the wheels will only fit in one slot, never even noticed the hubs were different lengths lol. Glad I'm getting so many positive responses about it though, when I finished building it I hooked it up to the bike and got mother to put all her weight on the handlebars while I stood on the trailer, proved to still be quite sturdy with all my weight on it |

WOW!! mind I seem to remember at some stage I saw a form of bike thing that actually ran on a full size railway line, think you would have to be barmy to use it but I imagine it would be great fun |
