Stub Axle - Parts for a swing away bike\wheel carrier

[zerosecta]

Hi Folks,

Hope that someone can help. I'm looking at adding a swing out bike carrier to my rear bar and want to use a Stub Axle with bearings etc. as the swing\hinge mechanism.

My question is where can I get the part\bit that slides over the bearings and would have the arm that extends out welded to it. Just a short thick cylinder tapered on the inside perhaps, I guess, but cant seem to find anything

Thanks in Advance

Cheers

Have a look at the kaymar 4wd accessory website. No affiliation but they use this system for their rear wheel carriers. I have had one of them in the past and they work a treat.

Thanks Mate, But they don't sell the parts for the Bars they make.

I actually just stumbled across a site that has exactly what I need and may very well be the end to the this quest Co-incedently on this same day I do this post.

So for others who may look for the same thing

There was a guy on ebay selling the whole kit including the clamp, the link below is for the bearing and stub axle for $75

This site may have something. Hard to navigate. Site looks like it was set up in the 90's but they do bike racks for caravans and check out the "how not to mount a bike rack on a caravan" link in the site. Make you think.

Zero you can also buy a short axle stub from boat chandlers and use a hub? But if its just for bikes why not use a "bolt" or "pin" axle (like you are for the drop down wheel) and just make sure when its latched the swing arm "sits' at home on a support, if you get my drift? then load is then shared on two points.

Hi Jim, got your drift mate and you are onto something there... Might just stick to the over engineer theme for now though
