Hanging off the beams while trailering would put the beam bolts in tension, while the normal mode is compression. So, the nuts are at risk of pulling through?


If you've tensioned the bolts up properly, they will remain in tension throughout the usual range of loadings. The bolts are so much greater in diameter than the sidestay wire, it isn't worth thinking about.
