Re: Trailers.
Many years ago like 25 years I built what I call a 3 stall dirt bike trailer. Bought the running gear from a local trailer supply place. Was planning on running the typical 1" trailer bearing/axle combo. The owner of the supply store gave me some great advice. Forget the small axle and bearing and go with the 3500 axles with the large bearings. Also carry with you a complete hub with greased bearings. Never have had to use the spare hub assembly. I've put many 1000's of miles on the trailer with zero issues.
Another thing is run 14"-15" tires to slow the bearings down.
Just one more thing if you buy a small trailer from a box store they may have metric bearings/axles not inch bearing and they don't interchange.
