What is an alternative trailer hitch for the Re~Cycled bike trailer? This is the webpage of the trailer http://re-cycle.org/sites/re-cycle.org/files/Trailer.pdf

The reason I don't like it is because it tends to spring open and closed. Maybe use a ball and rod like this? ball socket like some trailers use

  • I have a web page full of trailer building links, some of them might be useful to you: chiark.greenend.org.uk/~armb/cycling/trailer.html

  • @josh the re-cycle web page PDF is gone. Do you have any other images of the Before ?

    @Criggie Every now and again I go through my trailer site replacing dead links with archive ones where possible. In this case, web.archive.org/web/20130514025630/http://www.re-cycle.org/… (Though chasing the pdf version through re-directs will still take a few clicks. It used a pipe bending spring as a flexible element.)

Simplest answer would be to find a trailer that you like that sells the hitch as a spare part, and use that. For example https://carryfreedom.com/shop/hitches/
