Why does my bike make a noise when I pedal hard? Do you have a kick-stand? Mine is held on by a single bolt, so gets loose sometimes and can rub on spokes/tyre. It only makes a noise when I'm pedalling hard. |

Transporting groceries ... unless this thing is an especially light frame or there's little space around the wheels, then it'd probably be fine. if you have any friends/family with a mechanical engineering degree or mechanics who do any custom frame design/modification/etc, ask them for some advice, and how sure they are about it one way or the other (and don't sue them if they're wrong if you've only asked them for some quick/free advice!) |

Transporting groceries as an engineer (in australia) it makes sense to put it this way from an ethical/legal point of view - if you're not completely sure, you don't dish out engineering advice. otherwise someone can sue you if you're wrong, so equally, I'd say the same, especially having not even seen the trailer or done any kind of analysis on wheel sizes/widths/... but... |
