The only thing I will add to this, is, take it for a test drive
once you have it on the trailer or in the best.

Before I started to use handle bar straps the front wheel only
walked a bit, not with the handle bar straps the front wheel walks
across the front of the bed, so I created a mini chalk that keeps
the front of the front whell from sliding.
