Trailer tongue weight and other ?'s..

[brutal]

Thanks for the box link! Ok, mostly concerned that there is no weight at all on the tongue.. I'll drive it up to Nederland in the morning and do some riding to try it out as is.

I've got some more ideas that I might address over the winter such as adding a receiver hitch to the back to add another receiver hitch bike rack I have for an additional bike and so on..

As for the axle bearings.. Regrease or just leave whats there, add the bearing buddies and fill up?

It was probably originally lubed with a Polyurea base conventional wheel bearing grease so just about anything else you're likely to get your hands on would be compatible.

That said, there are incompatibilities between greases (base-soap thickener materials) and some that should never be mixed. I'm kind of anal about the grease in my trailer's bearings and have thankfully never smoked a bearing - including watercraft/boat trailers which are as unforgiving to proper maintenance as heavy loads. Consider the intended use. If you're prone to drag that trailer through water, I would clean out all the old grease and use Marine grade wheel bearing grease now and forever.
