Wheels

20" Sun L20 Single-Wall Wheelchair Wheels - $64.35 ea.

36 spokes. Radial lace.

These wheels are ETRTO 451, not 406 as most 20" BMX wheels are. This created a huge problem with tires, setting me back a while. ETRTO 406 is what most 20" tires are.

Axles

Edmond Wheelchair Repair and Supply

Preferably QR, waiting on wheels to know size.

Keg

2½ GALLON NEW BALL LOCK CORNELIUS TYPE KEG - $92.90

My partictular keg is a 2.5 gallon keg by AEB. 14½" tall, and 8½" wide.

Since the trailer should be capable of carrying a 5 gallon keg at some point, the max size should be 25" tall, and 8½" wide.

Other keg brands:

Tap and Pump

BALL-LOCK PICNIC TAP - $12.90

BALL LOCK INJECTOR - $19.90

These ball locks use 1/4" SAE 37° Flare (JIC) (7/16", NC UNF) fittings produced by CMBecker of Germany

Schrader Valve's Dimensions, External Thread

METRIC: 7.7 mm OD, thread root diameter is 6.9 mm x 0.794 mm pitch. IMPERIAL: 0.305 in OD, thread root diameter 0.302 in x 32 tpi (threads per inch)

Genuine Innovations Cornelius Keg CO2 Charger

CO2 Cartridges

The injector will work with commonly available threaded CO2 cartridges.

These are very expensive at bike shops, upwards of $5 each for 16 gram units.

3/8-24UNF-1A thread. Note: Schreader valves are 5/16–32 thread.

They can be got for much cheaper, the key is to ensure that the cartrige is made up of pure CO2:
