I keep looking at enclosed trailers for sale (can’t really afford one and don’t know if I really want one, but I’m looking). Why do all these trend setters have 17 – 18 inch rims with low profile tyres, I can’t have bigger wheels on my trailer than my car. :blink:
I guess there isn’t any dirt roads on the way to freestyle comps or motocross tracks, so no risk of punctures or blow outs.
I have light truck tyres on my bike trailer and it sees plenty of dirt road (at high speed because it is being towed by the mighty AU Falcon wagon
) with no dramas.May 22, 2012 at 12:08 pm #222293Can’t fault your logic on light truck tyres

Trailer tyres cop hell.
One draw back of an enclosed trailer is wind resistance, you’ll suck down extra juice.
However it can give you somewhere to throw your swag off the ground and under cover.
Your bike will get dirty on the ride, and you carry all your spares in your bum bag so the security factor doesn’t really matter.

May 22, 2012 at 1:39 pm #222296I got over towing the 8 x 5 box trailer I had everywhere. Too heavy to drag around for the usual sort of trailer rides, god knows what an enclosed trailer would be like.
Great for looking like a rockstar at the OBT birthday rides though
May 23, 2012 at 2:46 am #222298Might just pimp out my little bike trailer with some rims like this :woohoo: :woohoo:

May 24, 2012 at 12:04 am #222295Ive got a five bike trailer. 2500 wide by 3000 long. Tows great behind the prado. dont even know its there when fully loaded with five onboard. Going to enclose it fully tho. I have 3 boys and fed up arriving at the meet and forgoten gloves, boots, googles etc. Alway something left behind. This way everything stay in the trailer. Yeah might choo up fuel and more wind resistance, but would use just as much going back to get the gear left behind.
May 24, 2012 at 9:28 pm #222448I just now bought an enclosed trailer,pick it up tomorrow morning.
You can all have a look next weekend
May 24, 2012 at 9:39 pm #222493As per usual Aido “all the gear and no idea” 😆
If it goes missing at Sunny Corner and you find a little blue bike trailer connected to your car don’t be alarmed your (my) new trailer will be in safe hands and the trailer on your car is a little beauty. :whistle:
