higly recommend - did a ~240 mile grueling desert ride with the bob ibex,
the trailer was perfect ! flawless performance ! highly recommend !
bob doesn't say much but he's a great listener.

I rode my bike from Coos Bay Oregon to Yorktown Virginia during the summer and fall of 2010. I decided to take trailer on this tour based on expected head winds and its narrow profile. It performed very well. There is one thing that BOB needs to look into. The fender is better than nothing but it will not do much to keep your load clean and dry.
If you are going to pull a BOB here is a tip from my experience. Get some paracord, learn to tie a trucker's hitch, load your trailer with the Center of gravity low and forward and tie it down tight.

We got this trailer for all of the camping me and my friends do with our bikes. It certainly is a wonderful thing to have and works beautifully. After it is packed, at least one of our dogs can sit on it during the trip. At one point I sat in it to see how it felt. It worked quite well. So, later we put pads in it (w/o the bag) and our grandson sat on it for a short bike ride on the paved trail. He had on his helmet and held the older dog, smiliing the entire time. Some bikes require an adapter, but that's easy to do for the benefits.

Purchased to use on Rails to Trails and single track Mountain Bike trails. This trailer pulls easy. I load it with all camping gear needed plus extras. I would not be with out this trailer it works better then panniers for me.
