    Default Expedition trailer....for bikes

    Found this the other day and thought some of you guys might find it useful, i know i might try and build one. It looks like really good design and build quality, and seems they have tested it well. Im sure its not made for technical stuff but for fire roads and less aggressive rides it would be awesome. Maybe reach your destination by way of fire roads, set up camp, drop the trailer, and hit some more technical trails. It would be nice to take along extra gas, a cooler, etc...

    heres the link:

    What an interesting idea. I wonder how drastically it would affect the ride?

    Anybody use one?

    I have used Bob trailers for my mountain bike...it doesn't effect the ride too too bad, but, you deffinately know it is there.

    I think it is a good idea and would like to see a trail report.
