Trailer odometer :dontknow: I've found hubodometer for larger trailers but no luck for small ones:banghead:
Any DIY wanna find a way?:bowdown::bowdown::firstplace:
I was considering using a wireless bicycle computer that could stay mounted to the trailer (whatever trailer) if the tire size would work with the calculations :lecturef_smilie:

THANKS in advance:ohyea:

Go even simpler, use a wired bicycle computer. Cateye Enduros have been pretty solid performers for us with simple battery replacements every now and then.

Your greatest challenge will be the mounting of the magnet and pickup to be close enough to each other to trigger the unit and count. We also have wireless bicycle computers, but I find they are more sensitive to battery condition.

Each time you hook up, record starting mileage. When you remove, record end mileage. When in doubt, grease the wheel bearings!

Hey, that's what I do. I have a sheet taped to the inside of the lid and I record my Spyder mileage for the trip.
