But the falling over thing would be a problem (and I'm WAY too vain to put a kick stand on my Santa Cruz  ). So maybe I will borrow my friend's Burley Trailer one of these days and take Trev for a ride!  |
Anyone too vain to put a kick stand on a Santa Cruz is OK in my book!
What model do you have?
Just remember Trev will have no suspension and no padded seat. Even the tires are smaller and will have probably more pressure that your Santa Cruz. It would be like riding on a bike rack on a non suspension bike with more tire pressure. Maybe not quite as bad, the floor of the trailer has some give to it. Also two tire track things bounce side to side, your bike doesn't. Run whatever the minimum tire pressure is on the trailer if you're not on pavement, and go slow. Did you ever ride in the back of a pickup truck on a very rough road?
Like a relatively flat fire road.
Ouch.
I'm not trying to discourage you from doing it. You can have a good time. But the kid trailers are designed for on the road. Just don't go fast over
any bumps.
And if you do go for a ride, please bring a digital camera, for photos on the forum ??
