So I bought a trailer...

[evil jose]

Pretty nice one. 5' x 10'. Glad I didn't get anything smaller and glad I got the wood floor instead of the cheaper wire mesh crap that can't hold any weight. It also has a good ramp and 13" tires. Just need to pick up a spare and carrier and some stuff for securing the bikes to the trailer.

Do you think if I use these D Rings they will hold the bike securely?

those d-rings look ok to me. don't cut corners on your tie down gear. i bought a set of ratchet straps for my bike that were way underpriced. i thought i was getting a deal. well, they were complete pieces of shit. remember that you get what you pay for and the tie down gear you purchase will be the difference in getting to point b care-free and your bike falling onto the interstate. congrats on your purchase. i know you have been looking for a while...

Defintely won't cut any corners. Just wish I had money to buy some wheel chocks before this trip, still trying to find a way to "afford" them but I'll be cutting it close.

if you have any pieces of gutter for houses, it works good for a temp wheel chock on the front.

Although Ill be seeing it pretty soon anyway, do you have any pics? ALso how much are wheel chocks and what kind of chocks are the ones suppost to be used on bikes? Are you talking about the ones that curve up around the front tire?
I know what you mean about the budget man. Iv been trying to figure all kinds of stuff into my budget for the trip. I havent managed to get anything Iv wanted to yet though. Still trying to figure in a canyon dancer. :cool:

I'll post some pictures later. Stephen, you're going to need to buy the canyon dancers or maybe post up and see if you can borrow some. Working on the wheel chocks.
