Haha, thanks chevy. Not many aluminum for sale used, but what I do see seems to be in the $1k range which is certainly too high for me. 5x8 is still an upper limit for me, but maybe I will lean more towards one of that size. What kind of weights are these trailers normally at? Bad - Isn't your trailer an enclosed one? With the added weight and wind resistance I can't imagine that would be ideal for the scoobie. Also, with the number of bikes you have had, I am not surprised you have had that many trailers as well It sounds like a used TSC one would be ideal (or at least that style). I have until 4-28 before I will need one, so I guess I will just see what pops up. The bearing buddies seem interesting, especially for the price
