The trailer is very well made and looks great with it's gloss black frame and fenders and chrome diamond plate bed and chrome wheels. It is 16 years old, but looks like new. There isn't one bit of rust on it...it  is only outside if it is in use. It is low and easy to load, has independent suspension, and tows great. But it's best feature is how it folds up like a roll away bed. It has casters that allow it to be move easily into any location. I don't think our model is still in production, but I believe the newer versions are lighter and easier to handle and feature larger sized wheels. If anyone is in need of a trailer, don't overlook the Kendon line.

I have a Kendon Dual fold up too, and my luck has not been as good as you. Both front rails that hold the bikes up have been tweaked over making the bikes lean. It's the little metal tabs that hold the tubing to the frame that got bent. Then one of the caster wheels went bad from rolling it around my driveway. All the tiny ball bearings fell out of it. On the other larger two, the rubber wheels are starting to break off in small chunks.

Kendon sent me some new caster wheels. However instead of replacing their front wheel chock and rail with the same thing, I'm going to try and use a something stronger like a Condor wheel chock. I also widend the ramp by bolting a piece of plywood under it. Now I can ride the bikes up and down and use the plywood to help keep balance. I never liked pushing bikes up the ramp.

We had a caster fail also. It exploded when I bashed it into a curb while pushing the trailer around by hand. We got a replacement at the neighborhood hardware store. We've had no other issues with the casters, but we only use them in the garage on the smooth floor. We use the main wheels entering and exiting the garage and of course outside.

We have modified ours also. The wheels chocks were positioned too far forward for our short sportbikes.  Tongue weight was more than I liked, so we had some custom chocks made up  before we even used the trailer and moved the bikes back a little. The trailer was probably designed for cruisers and other bikes with longer wheelbases. We also added a pair of marine hubcap thingies that provide a constant supply of grease to the wheel bearings. Our first tow was from the LA area to Seattle and back...no problem.

You mentioned you were considering adding Condor wheel chocks. We purchased their rail kit about 4 years ago. It wasn't cheap and dealing with Condor about an issue we had wasn't easy, but the chocks are great. To me, their front stop alone is worth the price of admission. That wheel isn't coming out of it. Getting the rocking shoe positioned correctly took some doing, but all is well now and they work as advertised. It is really nice to not have to hold the bike upright while you strap it down. Just be prepared to do some engineering if you get a rail kit.

The dealer installed it for us while we waited and the tech was very courteous. We like the trailer because it doesn't take up a ton of room in our garage and I can move it out and hook it up to our SUV myself.

 I have a newer model single bike trailer. Would you please tell me why your company does not reccommend riding the bike onto the trailer. I have a Yamaha Roadstar Silverado (aound 800lbs) and have found that riding it up seems the safest method. I have tried to motor the bike up the ramp while walking alongside trying to "balance" it. It didn't work too well and almost dropped it had it not been for a friend grabbing the bike and keeping it from falling on top of me. Riding onto the trailer has proven much safer and far less nerve racking. I bought this trailer with the idea of loading and unloading single handedly. I like the trailer for the most part but suggest that you use better tires on it. Mine had Carlisle tires and they were not even round. I replaced them and it tows much better now!

Thanks, Mike
