Gear Talk / ?? about BOB trailer

« on: May 26, 2005, 12:26:39 am »

If this has already been discussed, apologizes right now. But I couldn't find it, so here goes........ Went for a weekend overnight bike trip - took the BOB trailer loaded with my camping gear, etc. Fought major headwinds of 35-40 sustained with gusts up to 50 mph. Fine. I survived that. The next day, on the return trip, had tailwinds! Yeah! Hit rather high speeds and noticed a definite wobble/shimmy in the trailer. Over 30-35 mph, it wasn't tracking well. Do I have it loaded incorrectly? Is something not tightened down? Or is it an inherent quality of the trailer? If so, I'll get used to it. I simply need to know. Thanks in advance for any answers.
