5 Best Bicycle Trailers for Touring

[@stevejorde]

I have the Burley Coho XC. I love it, but another con that should've been mentioned is that you have to buy the hitch separately.

[@goOutdoorZone]

You're right! For most people, that would be a major downside!

[@Brad-99]

Luv my Burley flat bed ! 13 lbs,2 tire ,, foldable for storage and travel .100 lb limit and can up grade to 3 in fat Tires .👌

I’ve had a BOB Yak trailer for nearly 25 yrs it’s a real shame can no longer buy new in UK . It’s Basic , almost nothing to go wrong , no suspension but tough as you like . I repaint it every now and then and replace wheel bearings . Just last week transported a single bed frame ( dismantled) with help of rear rack . Then a chest of drawers no problem .

[@goOutdoorZone]

That's a bummer we can no longer buy that. Thank you for sharing your experience!

[@mberigan]

​@@goOutdoorZone Is the Bob still available elsewhere? I used to have one but it was stolen when shipped overseas. I thought they stopped producing them!!!

[@thomashughes_teh]

@4:39 re: BOB IBEX/ 6 attachment options? more like three but in different lengths. I had to saw off and sand smooth (a routine accommodation covered in the manual) the excess length of the quick release threads for my 135mm width. To "Go Fat" might require some custom work depending on your frame and hub. Last I checked the thru axle required to mount the BOB was an aftermarket boutique manufactory done by an owner. There are also end caps for bolt and wrench axles. I have end caps on a second bike and a third bike is a front wheel drive recumbent called a CRUZBIKE with a 110mm rear quick release width that I was barely able to accommodate at that length because the threading is short after that cut. The BOB system truly is very fast to switch between bikes. All of the options use the same math and materials at the points of contact. Plastic Attachment Point? he must be talking about the fender? Maybe the nylon bushing(s) in the vertical hinge?

Nice to have the #1 trailer, and I added the rear rack with Ortlieb bags and decided to give it a cherry 🍒 red paint job. ✌️🌍✌️

[@goOutdoorZone]

Wow! That sounds really great. Hope you're having a good time.

[@jacksonbangs6603]

What about the 2 wheel Burly Nomad? That is the trailer I chose because of its stability.

[@goOutdoorZone]

Burly Nomad is a great one!

[@Andrew-vx2ls]

Thank you. Some good ideas here, but I think I will build my own.

[@longrider42]

As a Non driver, and some one who rides a bike almost every day, for this and that, including grocery shopping. I prefer the Burley Nomad trailer, with luggage rack. 16 inch tires, two. and a 100 pound load capacity. Water resistant, but then again I do not go to the store in the rain. When camping I put cloths and such into their water proof bags. It also folds up quite small. And all trailers are expensive, and I really wonder why.

[@goOutdoorZone]

Why is the video not labelled/marked as paid advertising? It is clear there is no genuine attempt to review any of them or that you know anything about towing a trailer to determine which is best or worst. It's blatant advertising. And it is bicycle not buy-cycle.

[@thomashughes_teh]

The pro and con points have glaring errors.

[@The-GreenHornet]

Thank you Alex Morgan for pointing this out. I always click the thumbs down 👎 button on these automated voice advertisement videos. SMH!!!! KZbin has soooooooo gone down the crapper, like Fascist Book has as well; which I permanently deleted my account after 12 years. KZbin is all about advertisement videos; and video channels that you are no longer able to delete, thanks to the new algorithm probably created in the new format. I used to enjoy KZbin, but for some time now I can't stand it. Hey KZbin....STOP! with the PUSHY CONSTANT ADVERTISEMENTS AND VIDEOS THE CANNOT BE DELETED!. No One stops the video they want to watch and buys anything from these ads!!! Your Channel Sucks!

[@jbearmcdougall1646]

Can it be adapted to have a larger wheel to match the bicycle.?

[@goOutdoorZone]

We think, you have to DIY for that.

[@gralykmeno]

A good review. Sadly the BOB bike trailers are now discontinued (both the Yak and Ibex models). Apparently a corporate decision by the company that owns BOB - a British multinational called Britax!

[@goOutdoorZone]

I use a Burley Nomad I love it but it is very expensive in the UK!

[@goOutdoorZone]

Thanks for sharing!

[@dehoedisc7247]

In order to claim 70 pounds as a weight limit, it has to transfer about 35 pounds to the rear axle of the bicycle. So, the True load on the little 16 inch wheel is, in effect, 35 pounds. Clever loading.

[@goOutdoorZone]

Oh great! Thanks for shaing your view! Cheers!

[@masterpep7218]

I am planning a tour in Italy with one of these, so I don't have to stick to one place to sleep. Some questions to experienced users: 1. How safe are these in terms of use on a roadbike with high speeds? If I plan touring the Dolomites for example and doing 70-80 km/h on the downhill for minutes on end on a roadbike (with rim brakes), what is the risk of fishtailing or the wheel spinning out in corners? 2. How do these limit stability? Of course it can never be as bad as with a saddle-bag when you pedal standing which flip-flops the whole bike, but I assume the extra drag will make pedalling more strenuous due to inertia, especially on climbs. How bad is it and are there any differences between the models (e.g. because of their suspension differences, some are with coils)? Does it ruin a roadbike experience or is it simply some extra watts but you don't really feel something's dangling behind you? 3. How do these models differ in mad weather (e.g. rain/mud) in terms of putting up weight (on the faltbeds especially, frame, wheels) and how does wheel/rim clogging affect the increased drag? 4. Any experience with putting all your gear in it (tent/sleeping bag/clothes) for a multiple-week tour? Is the extra weight bareable or is it better to do star-excursions from a central location and only bring the trailer along for an occasional one-way ride, with less baggage? Finally, can someone link me a comparison on drag between these, tested in different environments? (wet roads, asphalt vs dirtroads, etc.) Many thanks for any tips!

[@goOutdoorZone]

First of all, which one do you want to take with you? If you plan touring the Dolomites with a speed of up to 70-80 km/h on the downhill, it will be fine (if you are on a straight line). Still there will be risk of fishtailing in the corners. Secondly, it's true that it's not as bad as carrying saddle-bags. However, it'll limit stability (compared to the ride with no trailer) and it'll be strenuous on long climbs. It's mostly better to do star-excursions but we went to a multi-day trip with bags, tents and other things. It was fine actually. We believe there might be exceptions for downhill or uphill situations. You're welcome and thanks for your comment!

[@masterpep7218]

@@goOutdoorZone I am actually trying to find a suitable one for my more sportful needs (100+ km's daily in mountainous regions for at least a week before restday) with the option to overnight at different destinations (and not having to return to my pitched tent each time), so it was more of a general inquiry on whether there are major differences between the models in terms of stability or whether safety warnings apply to all. I just read someone talking about these being extremely unstable when they are loaded and going on a steep downhill, up to life-threatening situations, because the weight while braking pushes on the rear axle and lifts up the front, making it very hard to brake properly (plus making cornering dangerous due to lack of grip, without even talking about tailspinning). I haven't seen anyone actually showing a downhill ride with a fully packed one, so would be curious how it really behaves. Like you mentioned, the long climbs are the real trick here, if we assume the downhills are taken with caution: the fact that you can pack freely also means that you can overpack for the hills, something that would be impossible without the trailer, as you don't have so much space on the bike itself, no matter how many bags you use.. My compact gearing and doing 100+ km's per day with thousands of meters of altitude means that I would probably not be able to even manage with my gears or risk of blowing too early and cutting the holiday short.. Again, something nobody talks about when discussing these trailers. All in all, having browsed dozens of reviews now, I have come to the conclusion that the real advantage is if I want to transport things of VOLUME, rather than WEIGHT. Because you could fit heavier stuff in bikepacking bags (in the saddlebag esp.) but too much weight and that kills the roadbike trip, because the trailer has an own weight of 5-7 kg in addition to the excess weight, while a saddlebag weighs next to nothing. For example, if I were to take my tent along (plus sleeping bag) in a saddle bag, I still carry less additional weight uphill than if I were to put the trailer on the bike. True enough, the trailer does not weigh on the bike itself, but that by itself is not always an advantage, considering mentioned forces working during the descent or the additional drag caused by the trailer wheel. I have not really come up with anything voluminous that justifies the trailer, so at the moment I am actually ditching the idea, it is not comaptible with my needs for this particular roadtrip. Looks like something more suitable for tours where you're really forced to pack all equipment on the bike, in addition not doing major climbs. Nonetheless, thank you for your fast reaction and advice! :)

Electric power to a bike wheel without weight to give it traction means a lot of wheel spins and worn tyres. For the powered trailer to be of use, you would always have to have the trailer loaded with weight.

Great bike , rides smooth kzbin.infoUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L I added a bigger spring loaded seat to it . Takes a bit of adjusting cables to get brakes and shifting to perfect . I've owned quite a few bikes in the past that were absolutely uncomfortable to ride and they always ended up as garage wall decor . I'm not seeing that with this one. It's pretty light I've only ridden it a few miles but I like it . As for the pedals falling off in the other reviews , the pedal arms are aluminum along with the pedal studs look to be also . I would not overtighten them. I can see it would be very easy to overtighten them and strip the threads right off . All in all I think it's pretty good quality besides the aluminum pedal thing
