Well done "Eric the Great and Powerfull Math Wiz". 8^) But IIRC, 8 inches is just the rim size (diameter) and actual value of the variable r would then be something close to 6in vs 4in (given r = inflated tire diameter / 2, and making no allowance for load). ... nit picking 101. MarkB

I just bought a 4x8 folding trailer w/12inch wheels for $200 from Harbor Freight. Took about 1/2 day to build. If folds up nice and I can roll it around like a Ping-Pong table. I just need to go out and buy a deck and tiedown point for it. I was also lucky since they have a store about 5 miles from my house. If anyone wants a picture email me back.

There's a company that makes a cycle carrier that attaches thru your trailer hitch and carries the bike across the rear of your vehicle. (Mototote...?) Ed --- In DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com, Randall Marbach wrote:

Good find. Please keep us posted on how easily it is to fold and unfold. I've been wanting a trailer but don't want to take up space in my garage that could be put to use holding more bikes. Something that sets up and tears down fairly rapidly would do the trick. Mike A18

A trailer hitch carrier wouldn't work well on a Jeep Wrangler, you can only mount a class A hitch on the Wrangler (200 pound max tongue weight) and the spare tire is mounted on the back and would interfere. People who carry bicycles on a Wrangler generally get a carrier that straps to the spare tire because of that. The only choice, alas, is a small trailer. The Wrangler will tow 2000 pounds so that won't be an issue. One more thing: In some areas, U-Haul rents motorcycle trailers. You might want to investigate their prices and see if renting a trailer occasionally will be cheaper than buying one. -E

Thanks All I will rule out the trailer in a bag. The harbor freight unit or the one at the following link ( with 2 optional motorcycle rails) looks much better. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4526374518> HTH Randy from Burbank --- KTAMCM@... wrote:
