bicycle trailer.

Step 6 Handle to seatpost connection.

one of the critical points of a bike trailer is a sufficiently flexible attachment to the bicycle. I have always found a bicycle inner tube lashing works well, but here is another technique. I had this old rubber tubing. It fits neatly over the crutches on both sides. there are drilled holes in the crutches so i can remove the tube from one side, wrap around seatpost, then put tube back over crutches. tightening and tying the line that passes through the rubber tube makes a very fast, and very flexible connection that works well accelerating or braking and coreners well with rotational freedom in all axes. the line takes the high tensile loads when starting the bike.

how is this part working out? it seems like it wold be the most ornery part when leaning the bike, and when the back jostles up and down.
