I'd like to incorporate your design in a bike/dog trailer... of PVC. Wheel mount and hitch will be tricky, but I got some inspiration from other videos. Thanks.
Thank you so much for documenting everything. Your 3-part video about your DIY bike trailer gave me some confidence on my future build. Haha, hoping for more cycling customization videos :D
Watched all three - 1 a long time ago, 2/3 over last week. I noted a couple of general tips/ideas in #2 worth mentioning. - Checking out how other people have gone about making similar items first - certainly before cutting metal can save a lot of time - even if you end up making something different but using similar techniques. - Using pannier / mudguard stay fixing holes. Can't understand why more people don't make use of these essentially 'free' features if appropriate - I also made use of them (with adaptor plates) on my current trailer to mount a towbar for a central hitch point. Unfortunately I don't have a welder, so have to resort to drill and hacksaw and bolt / rivet bits together :(
@@musaran2 Imo, things are just worth trying sometimes. I've made several bike trailers over a period of nearly 40 years - all have connected to the bike via a central hitch point immediately behind the rear wheel at approximately the same height as the axle. The bike side hitch assembly is mounted on a sub frame / yoke, that in turn has been attached to the bike via the mudguard / pannier rack stay holes. There have been no failures with this arrangement.
Years ago I made a bike trailer that worked really well using attachments to chain stays of my bike. Last year I was given a Bob single wheel trailer and decided to try using the pannier and mudguard holes instead and making a plate to screw into them. I was dubious about this idea at first too but it's worked great during the last year.
Hey, it can be useful because on my design if you hit bumps everything just jumps around in the trailer because there is no compliance in the system. Problem with adding a damper is getting the spring rate and damping kind of correct for your load, if you're always carrying different weights the damper won't work.

Came from part 1 & 2, great build!
I just watched all three in a row, and they were fantastic.
MORE bike stuff!
But everything you're doing is industrious/interesting/inspiring.
Nice shop, better welder than me. Diy bike accessories are pretty cool. A reverse trike would be interesting.
Hi Dmitri,
Good follow up video on the original one... I would be happy to see more of this type of video....
Take care.
Paul,,

You're welcome, glad you liked it! :) Good luck with your build!
The box took up beer space. 🍺
True, but it gave the man 'wood', which some of us might consider to be more important... 🤭
Nice job, bravo

Panier / mudguard stay fixing holes are not designed for heavy loads.
I would not dare 2×/3× this.

Hi!!! great job !! what is the size of the box?
Thanks! A bit too small unfortunately, i could have made it bigger. It's maybe 25x40x25cm... something like that!
Cool vid dude, what sort of steel tube did you use? Thank you for the effort
Mile steel, grade garbage. I would use stainless if i did it again due to rust.
Hi dimitri some video they are using shockbreaker do you heve idea it is need or not n what is benefit?
