Wheel clamp advice (for a trailer)

Post by charlie »

Evening all,

I’ve just bought a trailer for karting my bikes round in and I need to get some security set up. What is the best way to stop someone from pinching a 10-year-old Ifor Williams trailer?

If a wheel clamp is the way to go, can anyone recommend one that works well with the wheel size 145/70R13?

Where’s Zanx when you need him?! :D

Cheers,
Charlie

Take the wheels off it, it's what they do on the mobile lamps/signs on the A roads and motorways.

Other than that, maybe a hitch lock?

I've got a Milano wheel clamp on my motorhome, but 13inch is a lot smaller than mine.
