Gear Talk / Burley Trailers on Sale!

« on: February 13, 2023, 04:59:34 pm »

I just ordered a new Burley Nomad for $265 including tax.  REI.com says it's discontinued, but I don't see anything on the Burley website about it.  Anyway, if anybody is in the market for a trailer now might be a good time!

I have been researching trailers and trying to understand why one-wheel trailers suffer a lot more from wobble and sway.  Excellent video, a must watch if you really want to understand.  https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JeEEC5eVNCk&t=19s

Gear Talk / Two-wheeled trailer and rumble strips?

« on: November 24, 2022, 08:53:02 pm »

I am planning a cross country tandem bike tour and am leaning towards using a Two-wheeled trailer mainly becauseof the stability, and the fact that I have read several places that divers tend to give you a little extra space when passing. (I will never complain about that)  My only concern though is on highways with smaller shoulders and rumble strips.  Is this going to turn into a nightmare where the left wheel of the trailer is on a rumble strip for hours, OR I have to ride the entire time actually in the lane and not on the shoulder.

Anybody have thoughts or experience with this?
