I live in SE Florida and the roads a bit dull so the wife and I trailer to northern FL, Smokies, etc on a regular basis ... sometime we just trailer to Orlando and ride from there. Either way- the trailer probably has 5k miles on it already.
My trailer is a basic uncovered single bike all-metal designed that can handle 1400 lbs. The wheels are 20-inch (outer tire dimention) - not sure what the rims are but as you can imagine these things spin hard when I cruise at 85-90 all day.
The grease fittings are on the inside of the hubs between the axles which is tough to reach so I have thinking of adding bearing buddies (spring loaded grease pushers) to the axel ends.
These things work? Pros/cons? Any other ideas to keep this thing alive?
Thanks!
