This review is from assembly only. I haven't tested it yet.It was delivered faster than originally stated in good condition.Well packed and straight forward to assemble.I chose to replace some of the hardware with stainless steel fittings. Nothing wrong with the original. I just wanted to reduce likelihood of any corrosion.As mentioned in another review the wheel bearings were a little tight. I loosened slightly and added a bit more grease. Grease was present as supplied. But a little more didn't do any harm. Worth getting bearings checked if your not confident yourself.Good quality tyre. Note it is directional.Bag seems well made.Looking forward to using it. Very good design & quality for the money.

The trailer was good and the bike handled well with it attached. But after two days loaded with tent, sleeping bag, mat and clothes, the QR spindle was bent and the axle had broken. I have repaired the wheel with a solid axle, but not tested yet.

I was on the look out for a trailer for bulky item & food shops on my bike as I have been using the car less and trying to avoid public transport. After much thought I went for the one wheel type for it's lower profile. I didn't need a wide or very large trailer. The m-wave one wheel offering appeared a little more closer to a similar much higher priced make than those cheaper ones on 'the bay' so I went for it. Unfortunately the Amazon listing for the model with the nicer looking coloured bag was "out of stock" and as this was for my birthday present I wanted I had to get the model listed with the older style big black bag. In hindsight I should have left it and waited until the other came back into stock as the big black back that came with my trailer is not a very good design. In appearance it's basically a big open top bag that you are supposed to sort of roll over and secure with Velcro and clip to buckles on the side. However it's just too floppy. Having owned ortlieb roller tops I thought I would be ok for this bag but the bag just doesn't work well in practice. I would have preferred a zipper type for this trailers application. Assembly was easy enough despite the small sheet of text and fuzzy black and white photos. Really guys is it that hard to print a couple of larger A4 size pages? However, a few faults were found. Upon removal from the box, which was not damaged, I found one of the front axle arms attachment flanges bent out of shape. Being as I am familiar with steel fabrication I was able to manipulate it to true again. Not a good start though! The rest of the assembly went easy enough but the bolt to hold the rear mudgard to the frame is too long. To tighten it enough to secure the mudgard so it doesn't rattle about caused the bolt to break through the end of the dome nut! Another issue was with the position of the little tube (for flag pole) welded to one of the support struts. It was in the wrong position and I could not get the flag pole in fully as it would foul on the bolt above it. The bolts are not that strong and one has already began to strip one the threads. I will most likely replace all of them with stainless ones eventually. The black paint job was good and smooth overall but it had cracked at the point where the flange was bent, as mentioned earlier. I will need to paint this to protect the base metal, but I was expecting to need to repaint anyway as the frame is mild steel and being a bike trailer it will get scraped. Overall I feel a little more effort from the manufacturer would make this a great trailer. I really wanted to give this 4 or 5 stars but cannot overlook the issues I encountered. So far after a few test runs, one with a ver heavy shop! it appears to be holding up. I almost forgot! The box it came in was "marked" as "without bag" which initially made me anoyed as I thought I had been shipped the wrong one! As you can tell from this review the "bag" was actually inside..

I needed to adjust the wheel bearing as the supplied unit was 'tight'. No drama.A German design and fabrication, well thought through and no doubt thoroughly tested. Very good value.

so I have had this trailer a little while now, and to be honest, I totally love it, however there are a couple of issues that have happened, number 1 the part that holds the flag has managed to work its way loose (the weld as seen in the photograph) and number 2 is the quick release fell apart earlier this morning when I was removing it from my wheel so I could put my bike on a trainer to get some miles in due to bad weather wanted to do it indoors,P.S I would move the flag holder away from where it currently and weld it directly on to the main frame. would be much stronger. plus it is hard to get the flag in the hole due to the nut which is almost directly above it.
