Finished waffleing and finally ordered a new trailer.

Welcome Aboard! Wanna tell us what you ride? That way we can all prejudge you accordingly.

Would it be possible to to use some stiff card and make paper templates that fit the internal contours? I would think based on what you're doing you don't need much more than accuracy to decimal points. 10 thou vs 1 or 2. With scissor s and paper you should be able to get within 10 thou.

Spooned a new rear on yesterday. This morning I'll go out and see if the pressure has dropped over night. A new front is in the post. Both from FortNine. Both the tires I'm replacing have maybe half their life left but I'm leaving on a trip soon and hate to head out on the last half of a tire...

Sorry about the bearing caps.. Put them in by mistake and not sure how to delete it.

I don't put much stock in marketing hype. Edit: A quick google showed most aluminum water bottles are "impact-extruded"

While reading the book above I found it very offensive to learn that Netanyahu assisted Qatar in funneling many millions into hamas. As long as Gaza was run by terrorists he would never have to negotiate with them. Netanyahu is a war criminal and isreal is an aparthied state. What an effing...

People seem to carry fuel in those MSR bottles. Are they any different than a regular water bottle? How is fuel expansion handled?

Is this any closer to the truth?

This seems like a great idea. If I had land I'd own a fleet of "field cars".

Pretty rusty. Think I binned it.

Those little dowels that align covers are also great for falling down inside an engine.

When I was looking for the bearing cap I ended up digging out a large section of old cast iron water pipe. Ended up with a pretty big divot in the lawn.

Amazing how many fall for that.

I used one to find one of these after power washing cases in the back yard. Rookie move to leave the caps in....

That's actually a bad example. Small wheels are harder. I remember fighting with tires on my trailer (8" rims) after some how getting one on I simply could not get the second and ended up buying a whole new rim/tire.

The span is less than 2 feet. Bikes are light-ish. Trailer is available online at Rona and HomeDepot, either one better than the other?

Well fack me! I'm a rock of indecision. Luckily the Squeeze always provides good counsel. She didn't think much of buying a new trailer and hacking off the ramp. "do more research??.." Now I'm thinking about this. Just a 5x8 trailer kit. Even lighter at 250lb. Skinning the deck with 1x6 deck...

Voltage was 12.6 until I turned on the ignition. It dropped to about 4V with load.

We've seen the pics. Don't even start.
