HOMCOM Bicycle Trailer Cargo Jogger Luggage Storage Stroller with Towing Bar - Black

I searched the internet extensively to make a choice of cycle trailer. There are so many, in a wide range of prices and customer reviews , so it was a tricky decision to home in on this one. It arrived on time with all parts and simple instructions. The steel pressed spanner and allen key you should ignore and get a ratchet spanner, a phiilips screwdriver and some grease ( or vaseline) to protect water entering for the wheel hubs. Whenever I assemble something that will see the light of day and some rain I will spray WD40 on all the bolts etc. The residue makes it easier to adjust them later and to avoid corrosion in a few years time.The trailer is well made. Another customer was critical of the welding, citing the fact that two welds had holes. These holes are there to prevent condensate build up within the tubular frame and are placed equidistant at the least critical weld points in the frame - so full marks for engineering design!Assembly is intuitive and the tow bar fixing to the bike stem simple and effective. Just make sure that the fixing clamp that holds the male connector for the tow bar sprung clutch is set with enough space under the saddle to reach and press the orange coloured clutch to detach the tow bar. ( Look at my photos) Attaching ( by pushing on) and detaching the trailer is easy.The plastic container is very strong - I sat on it to assemble the frame and it did not distort at all and I am close to 17 Stone in weight!The tyres pump up easily once you have made sure the pump connector is fully tightened to the valve stem but its hard work using a sports type pump. They are small tyres so it does not take much to get them hard enough - I gauged them to 40 lbs.The cover is excellent quality and fits exactly.I am so delighted with this trailer - all that research was worth it! I recommend it to anyone who wants a robust, smart and simple bike trailer.

This is a great bit of kit! Like some of the other reviewers, we have an allotment and although it’s only a few minutes’ walk away, we often end up using the car to get there if we have tools or stuff to carry up there. Well not any more! This little beauty gives us the option to ditch the car, and cycle instead!It’s dead easy to put together, very very sturdy, and surprisingly easy to haul despite the loads it will take.The two parts of the tow bar need to be bolted together very firmly otherwise there’s a bit of play in it, which probably doesn’t matter, but I was super paranoid the first time I used it.I’d recommend having a test ride first with little or no load in the back to get used to it, as some of the sensations (and noises!) can be quite disconcerting, but you’ll soon feel confident. It can feel and sound quite bouncy, especially if your local roads are anything like ours.The load carrying capacity is pretty amazing, and I love that the plastic tray is removable. This proved especially useful when some brewery waste that I was hauling to the allotment leaked everywhere, and I had to swill it out. Gross.Yesterday I hauled 30kg of bricks in the trailer, and although it required a little more knee work than usual it wasn’t too difficult - and my journey involves a hill.The little flip-down trailer rest can be a little tricky to operate with one hand, whilst you stabilise your bike, but it works really well and is a nice feature.One thing that might take some getting used to is the sheer number of reflectors that this thing comes with!! Be aware that you will probably get them caught on door frames, gates, trousers, bushes, small children, gnomes etc as you move around, and they’re the only non sturdy part of the trailer. I haven’t broken any yet, but it’s only a matter of time!I love that the trailer has the towing bar with handles, as this makes it easy to get it into position to be hitched, and also means that it can be used as a hand barrow for hauling stuff around. I think it will be replacing our wheelbarrow at home for shifting stuff around.It’s a very smart looking bit of kit. Very well made, and great fun to use. I love it!

This trailer is great quality, but is let down by some questionable fittings.Assembling the trailer was 'fairly' easy, the only drawback was the bolts used for attaching the upright to the trailer itself. The top bolt fits easily with all three washers in place. The bottom bolt, however is a different story. The bottom bolt, being the same size as the upper one, just won't fit if you try using all of the included washers. It needs to be at least 5mm longer as there is more metal for the bolt to pass through than the top one has. Also, on a similar issue, attaching the securing lug onto your bike may, as it was with mine, be a problem if you have a more robust design (one using a thicker frame). I needed to replace the included bolts completely to make it fit.With all that in mind, if you have a few spare 3cm x 10mm bolts, I love this trailer. Yes, it took me half an hour to assemble (with a scrape to my wrist and hunting down the two replacement bolts), but actually putting it together was simple. The finished trailer is sturdy and will carry about 40Kg in the included plastic box (unfortunately it cannot be closed and only comes with a cloth cover).
