andys Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 Hi Just bought a 2003 sherco 250....... long story but basically never drink and ebay. I know nothing about trails, me and a mate are going to get the bike on saturday. Just wanted to know how to strap in down on a standard type trailer. And it their is any way to make a normal trailer better to transport trails bikes? cheers Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chader Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 ditto to the ebay/alchol warning my brother ended up with one by "accident" too. All you need to do is get a few tie downs. Run the bike forward against the front wall of the trailer. Use one tiedown off each side of the handle bars (near the clamps) and possibly one for the rear tire. They shouldn't need to be too tight.

ants Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 E-bay scary place got a Garage full of stuff Bought a bike on Saturday and it came with a trailer so I now have 4 Trials Bikes a 3 bike trailer and a 2 bike trailer Wife thinks I am losing the plot but I can't miss up on a bargain. I used to transport on a flat, garden type trailer but could never get the bike to stay put on a flat bed. Bike trailer has saved me loads of grief Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 hiya good luck with the trialling first of all, when you put the bike on the trailer fix a piece of 3in by 2in timber at either side of the front wheel with a couple of screws this will stop any movement as long as the bike is fastened down well enough. if you are going to use the trailer all the time you could fix a piece of steel channel to the bed for both wheels it doesn`t have to be to heavy a section of steel. gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
