DIY bicycle trailer with do-it-yourself shock absorber

DIY bicycle trailer with do-it-yourself shock absorber
Dear visitors of the site "" in this article, as you probably already guessed, we will talk about creating cycling trailer do it yourself of parts found in the garage)

Nowadays, this type of transport such as a bicycle is becoming more and more popular, because it is very environmentally friendly and does not consume more than one type of energy carrier) Also, this transport is quite convenient in urban conditions, traffic jams and traffic jams often occur to the extent of congestion on roads and highways, and this problem is not terrible for a bicycle).

With ease and health benefits you can get to the place of work, or go to the store for groceries, and in the evening take a walk in the park.

Recently, it has also been fashionable among athletic youth to carry out cycling trips over short or long distances.
But in order to travel with a bicycle it is necessary to take basic necessities, a tool, a tent, a sleeping bag, like that, like little things, but a decent load is put into a backpack and it’s hard to put everything back, and if you push everything back while riding, it will quickly get tired. So what to do with this problem? The answer is simple, you need trailer.

For traveling, it is better to use a trailer with one wheel, because it follows the track of a bicycle, and is very convenient on narrow trails and in urban conditions is also good.

And so, in order to create a one-wheeled trailer, the author used a wheel from a children's bicycle, a tube, a shock absorber, and assembled everything into a single design, and as a master did this, you will learn later by looking at all the assembly photos, and you should also study the list of necessary materials and tools.

Materials
1) 16 inch wheel
2) metal tube
3) steel 4 mm
4) axis
5) shock absorber
6) foam rubber
7) elastic
8) nuts

Instruments
1) grinder
2) welding machine
3) drill
4) jigsaw
5) metal sheet
6) file
7) hammer
8) set of wrenches

First, the author provides a photo of the original from which he performed his work.
Then I prepared the materials so that everything was at hand.
Metal corner.
Shock absorber.
Axis.
And he began to manufacture the rear fork.
Makes attachment point for shock absorber.
Drill holes.
Works as a grinder.
I made these brackets.
Fastened to a fork.
Here's what happened.
Adjusts.
Welds the bushing onto the plug.
Like that.
This is what the master did.
Carries out adjustment.
Then according to the scheme.
Makes a fork mount.



Makes a sleeve.


In size he prepared metal tubes.


Welded mount.
Assembled all in one design.
Further collects the body and mount.






The bottom is made of metal mesh.










Takes the rubber cut off from the camera.
Makes a kind of fastener insurance.
A good example.
For the trailer itself, the author takes such a foam rubber.
And finishes the whole frame.
That's actually all that I wanted to tell in this article, I hope you enjoyed it) Thank you for your attention!

Add wings, so as not to fill in the baggage with dirt - and the rules !!!
I’m interested, but how many kilometers could the author with this product travel?
Ivan_Pokhmelev,
Ah, now I understand. Well, yes, it will be normal
So here it is the same, and the photo is shown (after the photo of the shock absorber) of the rear axle with an eccentric and with bushings with a groove.
Here's what they write:
"Andrey, is distributed through the turned eccentric blanks onto the feathers of the frame. Such trailers were dragged along the mountains and off-road, loaded so that one person could not tear him off the ground. Changing in turn, these trailers dragged from a dozen different budget bikes, not one there were no problems because of the trailer, for what there really can be an Achtung, if heavily loaded, it’s for the legs, a tremendous load on the knees, especially if there are uphills.
On light racing frames, of course it’s better not to hook such a colossus. "
In the original, the trailer is attached to the axis with a special sleeve that allows the trailer to change the vertical angle.

But tuta is tough. Tear nafig such a design in the first pit. IMHO) No shock absorber will help with such a lever

It is necessary to put some kind of separate bracket for the vertical movement of the trailer.
The rear wheel on the shock absorber, so that small irregularities will be smoothed out. In addition, the trailer is a close copy to the original BOB Ibex industrial trailer, and its developers and manufacturers must have tested their brainchild before starting production.
But I’m wondering how this miracle of technology will pass through mounds or holes. Let's say we drive, and suddenly a hole turns out under the rear wheel. As a result, the bike now stands on the front wheel and rear of the trailer. Well, what a hell of a load. And if you add some kind of load to the trailer ... In general, an achtung.
And what is the total weight of the structure?
I also always wanted to have a small trailer, but not for cargo but for a passenger.
True, it seems to me most optimal to connect the trailer to the bicycle - in the area of ​​the seatpost, which would have free movement along the axis so that the trailer does not roll in the wake of the bicycle when cornering.
In my opinion, it’s a very "bulky" construction. Both in terms of metal consumption and the "complexity" of the design. Is it worth it that the author was going to carry in such a trailer?
To the author of the article: “such is foam rubber” - and not foam rubber at all, but thermal insulation for pipes made of foamed polyethylene (or polyurethane))))))
To the author of the homemade product: .... Well, it seems that a man is friends with iron, and the tool is and the materials are good .... but for the welds, I would beat my hands off ...)))))). If only I had already cleaned it with a grinder, I just don’t know how to cook ....
