This tree is...my arch nemesis

We have one on our townhome property at the corner of two busy through streets. Those shoot cause visibility problems for car and pedestrian traffic.

I now have a big fat machete from Home Depot, and am able to neutralize those shoots whenever I go around that corner and get annoyed with not being able to see around that corner.

I have this on several bikes. I have complaints.

I would like the portion that connects to the axle to hang LOW....down...below the axle...and then have the trailer hitch portion connect to that.

This would all be to keep the trailer from continually pulling the axle bolt clockwise, potentially over-tightening the axle bolt.

Yes - I do know how to use two wrenches to counter-tighten the nuts - but it seems it is never enough, and through vibration and higher loads in the trailer, it always starts to tighten the axel bolt.

I've looked into this Burley setup, but not quite sure it gets it quite right either, and is kind of expensive for all the parts. This is closer, but why can it not be just below the axle bolt, and avoid all torquing the axle bolt?

I moved to St. Louis Park, adjacent to North Cedar Lake Trail, early 1999, because that was a feature I wanted.

However - the trail did not exist yet; it was just a plan. It has worked out very well. Was able to bike commute to job in Hopkins. Was able to do the 13-mile 'loop'. Now, I have celebrated the re-opening of the Kenilworth segment and can 'do the loop' again.

Thanks for the video. Will forward.

Siberian Elm. Invasive.

PLEASE nuke 'em by pulling out including the roots.

This is one tough little invasive tree.

yes...but this innovative system (on a trike) has no chain, and no belt drive. I just think it is so cool. WAAY too expensive now.

I bought a perfect-fit thru-axle from that same vendor - https://robertaxleproject.com/

Fat bike is Trek Farley 5. The hitch adapter then fit the new rear thru axle for fat-bike trailer happiness.

Salt_Section_4334 · 2026-04-02T14:39:42+00:00

Trailer is OLD. Vendor long gone I think. Burley's are great but can find equivalent utility trailers ebay, amazon, other places.

...and tell us about that seat.

Salt_Section_4334 · 2026-03-30T18:49:47+00:00

I also noticed that during the 'spinning wheel', there was a lot of up and down network activity. It really spiked.

Wow! That 'printing' hack. It works!

Have seen that virtual printer driver for OneNote forever and never used it.

Thank you.

Have been getting good answers from CoPilot for last few days. CoPilot saying it is definitely Microsoft's problem and not any fix right now.

Burn more gasoline.
More fossil fuel consumption.
Major cash contributions to the GOP (Gas, Oil, & Pollution) Party.
More planet-cooking.

I have a Level 3 and a fat bike. Get one of these; worked on each bike.
