Anyone Know Or Seen Where To Buy A Bicycle Trailer?

[sendbaht]

Be nice to have one at our little get away place we have in Mai Rim. I would just leave it up there. Have no desire to use it here in CM. I wish to take

it to the nursery to pick up plants and bags of manure or grocery shopping. My bike rack and saddle bags are not the best for this.

I have a ton of FF miles and tried to to purchase one on Amazon and was even prepared to pay import tax since I was kind of getting it for free using my ff miles, but, Amazon will ship me books but not trailers and such to me here in Thailand.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I did pick up 2 fruit tress the other day but would have picked up more if it was possible.

I saw this guy last Sunday might be one of you? Looks perfect.

I think the trailer is called a Bob? Want to sell it.)

I had a trailer in the UK, moved a lot of stuff about from weekly groceries, to bags of coal to hospital equipment. Bought it online but can't remember the make (something like 'sloppy dog'). Design-wise it was almost identical to the Raleigh Avenir Mule which is available on Amazonand many other sites.

Your best bet here is to have one made, see: http://www.instructa...at-with-a-Bike/

About half-way down on the right under 'related' are less ambitious projects and details. The tricky bit it a good flexible hitch.

Thanks phaethon, some cool stuff on there. I like and it make sence "Convert a Child's Bike Trailer into a Cargo Trailer." I will look for one of these also.

You opened up a view doors, thanks again.

also saw this bike rake the other day somewhere.....seems easy to build....might be nice to have one in the car port.

I would get pictures of a Bob or a Burley trailer and have somebody local try to fabricate something similar.

I had a guy here make something pretty close to the xtrawheel trailer and he did a pretty good job, though using much much beefier steel than original ( heavy as heck ).

[sendbaht]

That's a good idea BBbUn. Not wanting to use it for long overhual tour rides that might be ok to have it heavy.

Now where to go for such... I live in CM I'll start looking around.....Thanks man.

I have a caboose trailer (Canondale) this is the early version of a burley.

I have another "no name" trailer.

My new trailers will arrive within a couple months so I can not sell them yet.

I would go for a BOB http://www.bobgear.com/trailers/

Or you can buy parts from it and make the rest over here.

Or maybe a Croozer trailer if you like a bigger one.

Hi Somchai,

When you ordered your trailers which country did you order from. I checked out the web site and it looks like Taiwan is the closest?

How much of any will you have to pay import duty?

Thanks for you help Somchai I want to order one today.)or I would order a Burley if I knew the correct way.

PS. on the Bob did you order suspension or not? I've read both pro and con on suspension.

I contacted a recommendation from this forum. Khun Sujit, in Nong Hoi. Doesn't really speak English. His number is 053322783.

The caboose (for kids) was second hand from Singapore, now 13 years ago, paid 10.000 baht, no import duty as my friend did bring it in.

The second "no name" (for kids) was send from Europe as a gift (Free) had to pay 1.500 or 1.800 baht calculated on de shipping price I assume. (DHL)

I do not have a BOB nor did I order one. Sorry for any misunderstanding.

I bought other (bicycle) trailers from the US, shipping was Fed Ex (expensive) and paid another 18.900 baht on top of the 1.200 $ US spend on goods and shipping.
