[Rhodes22-list] Triad trailer reparis

[Optonline]

Dave, I didn’t upgrade but when I was in Greenwich I had my trailer serviced (brakes freed/replaced) at John Herman in Stamford.  I don’t recall the disc conversation - he may have talked me out of it.  In any event, while not cheap ( I have a double axle) I found them very fair and reliable.

It’s not a cheap project but is purported to give an otherwise good trailer a new lease on life.  I don’t travel far with the boat - some years about 300 yards from the boat yard to the launch ramp and back spring and fall….the lack of use is the main problem.
