I bought a B.o.b. in 89 or 90, it came with a big duffel bag that worked great for going to the grocery store. Pulled it behind my 91 stump comp for about 10 years. Worth every penny.
a bike and trailer make a surprisingly good bob, no fuel costs, small and light can get down narrow spaces, quiet and stealthy, i think more people will realise this when the fuel runs out! nice one, cheers Dave
I've been using my BoB more and more -- groceries, beach rides, etc -- and have really come to love it and depend upon it. I have the Yak, but would love the Ibex if I could find a deal.
cool i just purchased a cheaper version allows me to take all my gear to think i used to lug it all on my back,wish i got one 20year ago my specialized rockhopper 29er handles it great,wonderfull little invention cheers for posting happy camping
I chose the Tout Terrain MULE trailer since it connects to the seat post not affecting the turning radius what-so-ever. Every time I see a Bob I am thrilled I went the right way.
Just looked it up , they seem nice . How are they on a sharp drop or sudden descent , looks like it would foul the rear wheel? There are issues with the Bob of course (like anything) i am equally thrilled to have not spent £650 on a trailer 😉😂 ATB Rob
@@WildCamper You can adjust the height of the trailer depending on what you are riding over. I have in it for mods now to carry a 300W solar panel and possibly allow me to ride while collecting power. Excited to journey with it this summer. - imgur.com/a/zXXlyuv
I have had both, attaching a pivot point so high up is a nightmare for handling .Imagine 40 Kg of trailer pushing sideways on your seatpost at low speeds ie...when turning. ALL seat-post-mounted single-wheeled trailers are horrible at low speeeds when loaded.
@@geraldhenrickson7472 I pull my Mule with 90 lbs. of gear, 80 lbs. in the 4 panniers, 10 lbs. in a bar bag, a 17 lbs. 1.3 kW battery, 4+ lbs. 750W center-drive motor, 4+ pound blue-tooth speaker, 2+ lbs. front rack well over 2000K miles and have never had her push me around once. Maybe you are right if the trailer is loaded and being pulled by a light unloaded bike... I wouldn't know. What I do know is that I can turn around in a tighter radius with the trailer than I can without it. If you want to pull a trailer for touring it should be a single wheel suspended trailer that connects to the seat post or frame, not the rear axle.
Just used my Yak for the first time since getting it used. I also had to get the "28" fork as I have a 29er hardtail I wanted to take. I had probably over 40lbs in a 65L backpack for cargo on a 60km each way rail trail with a bit of rooted and branch covered logging road. At first it felt a bit intimidating, like my bike could spill over if leaned to much but confidence quickly grew. I was actually impressed with how easy it was to use speed wise. I thought I would be going like a granny but this wasn't the case. I was really worried about hills but that turned out to be less of an issue than anticipated. Don't get me wrong, you know its there but I expected to be walking some of the short up/down sections but didn't. Am glad I never bit the 1X or 2X gimmick and still rock the 3X, I scaled some pretty steep sections although brief. I was also surprised how well it rolled over branches and roots having a smaller wheel without suspension. Did just fine. The most sketchy part is probably fast and steep downhills as I have read some horror stories and was very careful and mindful of braking and how I placed body weight,using a bit more rear brake than slamming the front which I imagined could lighten the rear wheel and have the YAk push off side. You just need to be aware of how these trailers greatly change the balance of a bike.

@@jamingaming9251 It's only subjective if you are comparing a bike trailer designed for touring and one for moving a refrigerator. Compare all the bike trailers designed to allow a rider to travel with and it's far less subjective and more.... well, obvious.
Nah it's one of the aspects i'd change if im honest they rattle a lot (the whole QR connection to trailer does. I'd have had a clamp and sealed bearing which would have screwed to the QR. Years as a bike shop owner i think i could help improve a few bits. I'd have run a 20" tyre simply because there is TR choices. I'd have made the 20" wheel as a plastic Mag wheel so no buckles and it's sealant compatible too. i'm gonna try and see if a 20" will fit. lot more choice in tyres, i'd run slicks for zero drag also and less weight. Tebless ready would be less weight and almost zero punctures too!
@@bobbyhempel1513 Check eBay for a VidaXL - similar trailer for about $86 USD. Not a BOB, a bit more cheaply made and kind of a kludgy mechanism to hook up to the bike but for that amount of savings I think I can come up with some kind of DIY alternative. I probably wouldn't buy one for heavy, long-distance hauling but I'm only going to carry a 15 pound dog in mine. We'll see how it goes.
Nice review. Lots of good information. Might I suggest you raise your seat? A too low seat is like asking for knee problems down the road. A properly fitting bike is better for you.

They sell a few different size parts of the bit that attaches to the rear wheel . I have had to get a bigger bit to go with my newer bike but used the bigger frame part on a BMW e bike with smaller wheels with no issue so you shouldn't face any issue. 👍
Hello, good afternoon I would like to know where I can find the locking, which is on the rear axle of the bike, as this part is called and where I can find it. I live in Brazil. can you provide me the store's website .. Thank you
+bengasband I have been thinking of doing a follow up to this video re the trailer. I will try to load it as you say. If you check out my other videos there is one in Dartmoor where I use it with a load of kit which may be of interest.atb rob
+TechOutsider Hi, i got a new bike with larger wheels and of course had to buy a bigger fork bit for the connection which was a extra expense. I am still happy with it and used for a trip in aug 2015 and it was faultless.
hi, to be honest I have never tried another Bob trailer so cannot say for sure. but what I can say is having used it with a heavy load on many occasions the suspension coil sure does soak up the bumps. I guess it will depend on what terrain you would use it on. cheers Rob
su mejor opción es buscarlo en Google, ya que estoy en el Reino Unido, así que no sé acerca de las tiendas en su país. buena suerte con tu viaje suena divertido!
I got it brand new for around £350 inc of shipping and import duty. You can buy today on amazon for £500 (ouch!) Have had cheaper duel wheel but they were very very heavy and too wide for what I have planned next summer to use this baby for ;)
I opted for a longtail cargo bike, brakes and gear are optimized for heavy loads and it is more versatile than a trailer, added a fast roadbike for rides without cargo. IMHO better than a compromise of one bike for everything. You also have a spare bike if the other breaks down (which happens sooner or later).
Always do what's best for your situation for sure. How does a longtail cargo bike do off road? For me I needed to use the trailer on a very off road 100mile trip and regular bikes simply wouldn't cope. For round town or routes like in this video I can see your point. ATB Rob
@@WildCamper check out the boda boda all terrain ruclips.net/video/ANEraV57Iok/видео.html It has no suspension, though, and I would not pack 200kg of gear onto it. I never had a trailer, so it is difficult for me to compare, but longtails are surprisingly good to handle, they feel like a regular bike.The only time you notice the big turn radius is when you push them by hand inside of buildings.
The tire is too narrow. Not enough floatation. I made a custom front fork for my BoB that I could use on the fatty, but it only worked well on hard packed snow. If all you had to ride on was snow and ice, you could rig up a ski for it. I've been using a BoB for about ten years years and several thousand miles. Some bike packers say it's too heavy and panniers are the way to go. I use a C-Pap device at night and have a solar panel spread out on the top of the bag to charge the battery for it.
Ah I see , never used a fat bike so was unaware. I like the trailer to haul all my kit when on a week long wild camp. Have used pannier system but they just don't last especially off the tarmac. But I am a kit whore so it helps drag all my gear along 😀
This trailer is good when you load a light load on it as in the video. If you put something heavy and bulky in it, even in the size of the trailer itself, it is very difficult to go, the trailer skids from side to side and because of this begins to rock the bike itself. On turns with a load just turns the steering wheel. very not convenient bike trailer. Need to with two wheels.
Hinterer ist die beste Firma in Deutschland wenn es um Fahrradanhänger geht Preise sind zwar hoch aber extrem hohe Qualität und man kann auch schwer beladen ohne das was bricht www.hinterher.com/produkte/modelluebersicht.php
Interessant, ich mag besonders den Einradanhänger, wie in meinem Video gezeigt. Zweiradanhänger sind auf schmalen Wegen und dergleichen unbrauchbar, da sie sich auf jeder Seite der einspurigen Wege auf Gras verfangen und Sie verlangsamen. Ich persönlich würde sowieso nicht mehr die 50 kg ziehen wollen, die mein Anhänger bewältigen kann. Fairerweise liegt das deutsche Äquivalent zu Ihrem Link in Bezug auf das Gewicht nahe an den gleichen Höchstgrenzen. Ich denke auch, dass der Bob cooler aussieht :) Prost und danke, Rob (Entschuldigung für mein schreckliches Deutsch)
@@WildCamper ich habe aktuell auch einen normalen Fahrradanhänger von Amazon Deutschland Problem ist sie schreiben zwar drauf du kannst bis zu 60 kg transportieren aber die ganz normalen billigen Henger sind nicht dafür ausgelegt schwere Lasten zu tragen machen wir ein Beispiel ein kleines Schlagloch oder du fährst im Wald mit 30 bis 50 kg mit einer Geschwindigkeit von 25 km h dann ist der Anhänger schon deutlich mehr unter Belastung deshalb würde ich wenn ich einen neuen kaufe zum Beispiel den hinterer Transporter 1 kaufen der ist nicht klein nicht groß und kann ein Gewicht bis zu 100 kg transportieren ich würde aber mal maximal 70 bis 80 kg transportieren und wenn man das macht Höchstgeschwindigkeit von 10 bis 15 kmh und was du machen müsstest du hast ja deinen Anhänger habe ich gesehen im Schnellspanner drin wo der Reifen fixiert ist ich würde den irgendwo anders montieren es gibt ja fast bei jedem Mountainbike eine Halterung einen Stützer zu montieren doch würde ich diese Halterung montieren hinten am Rahmen und doch dann den Anhänger montieren ist deutlich angenehmer sonst drückt das Gewicht von Anhänger immer auf den Schnellspanner und auf den Reifen und es blockiert irgendwie
@@murmur374 Ich kann nicht sagen, dass ich irgendwelche Probleme mit diesem hatte, es ist schwer, ja, bei 7 kg ist es ein Biest, aber ansonsten eine ausgezeichnete Wahl, die ich empfehlen kann.
@@WildCamper hast du schon Erfahrungen mit E-Bikes ich würde dir raten ein E-Bike zu kaufen macht viel mehr Spaß wie ein normales und du bekommst auch gute günstige Mountainbikes mittlerweile um 2500 €
Hey folks, Go with that one wheel trailer and you will see what’s the point. Carry a bit from 15kgs up to 28/29kg and you will have great troubles! All these commercials are fake. If you need a trailer take maybe a two wheeler. Better you take bags On the bike. Tryit and you will see the mess!take care
No fake here , I purchased this for my own use. Single wheel was better for me to go along trails where two wheel would have been caught in the grass each side. Weight , yes it's heavy when compared to panniers but flipside is you can haul more.in any case 15 or 30!kg is the same with one or two wheels , thanks for watching in any case 👍

Ich denke auch, dass der Bob cooler aussieht :) Prost und danke, Rob (Entschuldigung für mein schreckliches Deutsch)
@@WildCamper ich habe aktuell auch einen normalen Fahrradanhänger von Amazon Deutschland Problem ist sie schreiben zwar drauf du kannst bis zu 60 kg transportieren aber die ganz normalen billigen Henger sind nicht dafür ausgelegt schwere Lasten zu tragen machen wir ein Beispiel ein kleines Schlagloch oder du fährst im Wald mit 30 bis 50 kg mit einer Geschwindigkeit von 25 km h dann ist der Anhänger schon deutlich mehr unter Belastung deshalb würde ich wenn ich einen neuen kaufe zum Beispiel den hinterer Transporter 1 kaufen der ist nicht klein nicht groß und kann ein Gewicht bis zu 100 kg transportieren ich würde aber mal maximal 70 bis 80 kg transportieren und wenn man das macht Höchstgeschwindigkeit von 10 bis 15 kmh und was du machen müsstest du hast ja deinen Anhänger habe ich gesehen im Schnellspanner drin wo der Reifen fixiert ist ich würde den irgendwo anders montieren es gibt ja fast bei jedem Mountainbike eine Halterung einen Stützer zu montieren doch würde ich diese Halterung montieren hinten am Rahmen und doch dann den Anhänger montieren ist deutlich angenehmer sonst drückt das Gewicht von Anhänger immer auf den Schnellspanner und auf den Reifen und es blockiert irgendwie

Ich kann nicht sagen, dass ich irgendwelche Probleme mit diesem hatte, es ist schwer, ja, bei 7 kg ist es ein Biest, aber ansonsten eine ausgezeichnete Wahl, die ich empfehlen kann.
@@WildCamper hast du schon Erfahrungen mit E-Bikes ich würde dir raten ein E-Bike zu kaufen macht viel mehr Spaß wie ein normales und du bekommst auch gute günstige Mountainbikes mittlerweile um 2500 €
Eso es ree viejo nada nuevo ese tipo d carro imbento de motociclistas y moteros
gracias por tu valiosa entrada
Hey folks,
Go with that one wheel trailer and you will see what’s the point. Carry a bit from 15kgs up to 28/29kg and you will have great troubles! All these commercials are fake. If you need a trailer take maybe a two wheeler. Better you take bags On the bike. Tryit and you will see the mess!take care
No fake here , I purchased this for my own use. Single wheel was better for me to go along trails where two wheel would have been caught in the grass each side. Weight , yes it's heavy when compared to panniers but flipside is you can haul more.in any case 15 or 30!kg is the same with one or two wheels , thanks for watching in any case 👍
