3.0 out of 5 stars Quick Release-lever leaves to be desired, November 23, 2009

This review is from: BOB Yak 28 Plus Trailer In Black (Includes Dry Sak) (Baby Product)
We bought this trailer for touring with our tandem as well as for allowing us to transport larger items on our bike.We have used it for a four day tour and multiple errand rides around town.

The 28 version allows for use on bikes that have 700C wheels and fenders
Assembly took 15-30 minutes and the trailer came with proper instructions.

When riding you do not really notice the trailer all that much. If anything it makes the bike trail a little straighter. The hardest part of handling is the parking: Since it is near impossible to move the bike plus trailer backwards in a straight line you have to park the bike in such way that you can leave moving forward. Once you get used to that idea it is not that hard.

The biggest negative are the QR Levers. I have two QR levers, one for a standard bike and one for a tandem (145mm wide). It is hard to tighten them enough so that the rear wheel won't come loose. Twice I have had an issue with it: once on a regular bike where the rear wheel came out of the dropouts when I left from a stoplight (causing me to fall); the other time on our tandem, where the wheel remained in the dropout but pulled out of a straight line, causing the tire to rub against the fender.

Overall a useful trailer, but the QR lever could use a re-design
