Single bike on double bike trailer - ok?

[Tim in Belgium]

I'm off to Cadwell on Saturday and am borrowing a bike trailer to take the SV on. It is for two bikes, will it be ok with just one on, i.e not too lopsided?

Any tips greatfully received.

Cheers,

Tim

If its a trailer specifically made for it (not a home conversion) then it will be fine. Many dealers use them to make deliveries/collections.

Cheers,
think it is a bike specific trailer so sounds ok.

You could put something heavy on the other side to balance it and stop the trailer bouncing like a jack-in-the box. Assuming you can safely secure it, that is.

Some 2-bike trailers have 3 runners, one in the centre and one each side to cater for the possibilities. :?

Maybe the runners are adjustable? (remove one, and reposition the other - would make sense to me)

Thanks for the tips, although I've got no jack in a box, may look at putting a spare car wheel or something on the other side to provide a bit of weight.

Go carefull round the corners, saw a bloke lose his 2 bike trailer with a 'Blade as he came off a roundabout. Trailer tipped over and came off his tow bar.

oh never mind ....... :P :P

Do they have jack-in-a-boxes in Belgium?

Not sure if they have Jack-in-the box-s in Belgium, as I'm back in the UK now.

I thought it could be some special type of heavy jack, but re-reading your post I'm the one who seems to be a bit special!
