[QUOTE="mferriter, post: 892398, member: 19644"] How was the install on the converter? The 12" wheels are rated at a slightly higher speed that the 8" ones and have a higher weight rating as well. Although I'll never load it to it's full capacity, I will be riding "slightly" faster than the speed rating for the wheels. It's nice to know that are built to be a bit more sturdy. You're right on the swivel hitch, but I'd hate to hit the pivot limit on the ball coupler half way through a corner. On the other hand, maybe the standard coupler would prevent the bike from hitting the ground if I ever dropped it in a parking lot. I've got the same jack/wheel for the tongue - just have to make sure everything is balanced to keep the tongue weight in the proper range. Not sure if the box is made from polyproylene (PP), it doesn't feel like it. I have to drill a couple holes for new locking latches. I can bring in some of the plastic shavings and check them out in the materials lab at work. [/QUOTE]
