Thank you hirsute

I’ve just hit the go button on an axle from SJS.

All I’ve got to do now it get hold of a trailer and then smuggle it passed the wife …

It became easier once I started looking with my laptop and not the phone …

If you have a puncture, can you just remove the thru-axle and tow hitch in one unit, or do you have to undo that nut first?

Thank you for the image … It helps to see it like that ?

The last time I had a trailer

The last time I had a trailer it was connected by the type of coupling that Tom shows; however the bike had bolt on wheels and so it wasn’t a problem (or if it was I was blissfully ignorant of it).

I might just give up on this idea (which in my blessed ignorance seems to be easy) and think about doing something less complicated – like writting the design specs that will enable man to live on Mars

There is a basic spline

There is a basic spline alignement with the head and the thru-axle body.
there is a fixed collar on the body, and the head / handle pulls out to clear the splines; you can then rotate the head to a clear space and push it back in.
It’s just a lazy-mans hex key 🙂

Thanks Ian.

Thanks Ian.
Please see my post below for an image of the thru-axles I am using.
Currently, I have about 4mm / 3 full thread turns projecting through the drive side.

Looking at the picture that Tom has posted of the universal hitch that he has:
– providing that the central bore is >12mm and the counter-bore is about 1-2mm deep, in theory the existing axle could* work, providing their design parameters aren’t exceeded.

* could because anything could work – it’s just how safely (and how expensive the fix).

It’s not a true QR as in a skewer.
It’s a QR head thats been fitted to a thru axle.
Basically, there is a lever head that means you can get rid of having to faff around with a hex key to undo it.

I was looking at the below type of hitch as it seems to be compatible with QR axles – I’ve got QR levers on my thru axles.
(https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tiberham-Universal-Attachment-Replacement-Connector/dp/B07VW77NWH)

I guess with the connector that Tom shows, the trailer has a female part that the post slides in and is held in place with a locking pin.

Would that work with the type of attachment I’m looking at?

I’m trying to reduce the amount of hurdles that I might face so I have an easier time of it.

Image quality by frame rate.
Image quality by frame rate.

While 60fps gives a better quality image, it leads to significantly longer processing times.
This might not be an issue of you are adding telemetry to a 5 minute clip, but when you are adding it to a 2 hour ride it becomes quite serious.

My i7 laptop, using Dashware, will normally take around 3 hours to add telemetry to a 2 hour 30fps video.
As an experiment, I’ve changed from 30fps to 60fps and it took over 15 hours to add the telemetry on a 2 hour recording.

I would suggest a user selectable variable frame rate (30 / 60 fps) to accommodate different end video usage.

It was the rear view you posted that got me thinking again of a trailer.
