I recommend this trailer. I didn't build it and used it as delivered for many years.

You can use the bicycle wheels while while you are test pulling the trailer. They worked for years for me for years. Use BMX tires/tubes which are tough.

Pit bike front wheels are 12" off Ebay. Get wheels with 12 mm axles. Used a 12 mm bolt for the axles which fit in the frame tubing . Used 1/2" CPVC tubing for spacers. Remove the bicycle wheels and axles and drill through the 12 mm bolts where the bicycle axle was secured and secure with a proper size bolt. Use a u-bolt to secure the axle to the outer frame tubing.

Bolt the trailer coupler to lower shock mount or where ever convenient.

I'll take some better photos if you are serious about getting one of the trailers. Off to the mini bikes races at the Gap.
