scorpa3 Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Used to use a van and simply bolted three lashing eyes (available from anu local hardware store, B+Q etc) into the back for straps. One was down by the front wheel, then the other two were either side just below the handle bar level, these provided excellent positions for supporting the bike. Note- the one by the front wheel is important because it stops the tyre sliding sideways and reducing the tension on the straps going to the bars.

barrybaines Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 I used too have a trailer well it was my dad`s but we converted it so the back slid out then we put a `U` channel for the front wheel too sit in and then put some hook type tie down points in each corner of the trailer and there you have it a multi-purpose trailer. The other option of course instead of using the `U` channel is you could cut out a slot for the wheel to sit into this would probably be a little more stable Hope this helps Barry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipy Posted March 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Thanks for your help people. I thought there would be a company that supplied floor supports for flat trailers. Ill have a look. C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
