might get a reply at retail level, If not getting a response from the manufacturer ..



I did get a reply from somebody who was apparently on vacation. He said he would look for one at the shop when he got back in mid june. Very nice of him.
But I decided to try making one anyways. I brazed some cro-moly tube on the ends of an old skewer I had.

I had another problem with the trailer pivot (where it is behind the rear wheel). The headset-like arrangement was loose. When I tried to turn it (all aluminum parts) I found it had seized. I could turn it with lube but it was shearing the threads off. I just packed as much grease in there as i could and snugged it down and adjusted it best I could. Who knows how long it will last. The pivot appears to be plastic bushings only; no bearings. A real design flaw in a trailer that has a lot of good things going for it.

I like how the trailer double kickstand holds up the trailer, and the bike too.
