Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Pinterest Bluesky Threads Hello, I have an old trail-a-bike style trailer I’d like to use for my kiddo, but the seat post clamp doesn’t quite get tight enough to stay I position. Any ideas on what to use as a bushing/shim to pad out the gap? Thanks by jimmy175 Bicycling Bike Bike Repair Biking Cycling Repair

dunncrew on March 9, 2024 4:16 pm Shouldn’t it be loose for turning ? Or is there a different pivot point ?

That poor Thompson! Slice up an old inner tube for shims
