I'm on my third second-hand cargo bike trailer, and my third bicycle, in three years, but still on my first Burley Classic Connector. Axles have broken; aluminum tubes have sheared, steel tubes have ripped; welds have broken; parts have been un-gettable. The twp parts which have outlasted everything else, were the ones supposed to break first -- the Classic Connector with it's Flexible Connector to the trailer arm, from my first Burley trailer, a 1990 Burley Roo. Both parts were original to the 20-year-old trailer when I got it in 2010. For one reason or another, I've used that same 1990 connectors on each subsequent trailer. I expect to soon ditch my current rusty steel Winchester trailer , for a slightly newer, less rusty Winchester -- which doesn't have a hitch connector, so I'll be using the 23-year-old connectors again.
