Why is the video not labelled/marked as paid advertising? It is clear there is no genuine attempt to review any of them or that you know anything about towing a trailer to determine which is best or worst. It's blatant advertising. And it is bicycle not buy-cycle.
The pro and con points have glaring errors.
Thank you Alex Morgan for pointing this out.
I always click the thumbs down 👎 button on these automated voice advertisement videos.
SMH!!!!
CZcams has soooooooo gone down the crapper, like Fascist Book has as well; which I permanently deleted my account after 12 years.
CZcams is all about advertisement videos; and video channels that you are no longer able to delete, thanks to the new algorithm probably created in the new format.
I used to enjoy CZcams, but for some time now I can't stand it.
Hey CZcams....STOP! with the PUSHY CONSTANT ADVERTISEMENTS AND VIDEOS THE CANNOT BE DELETED!.
No One stops the video they want to watch and buys anything from these ads!!!
Your Channel Sucks!
Luv my Burley flat bed ! 13 lbs,2 tire ,, foldable for storage and travel .100 lb limit and can up grade to 3 in fat Tires .👌
Thanks for sharing with everyone!
Thank you. Some good ideas here, but I think I will build my own.
You're welcome! And if you can build one, that would be great because you know your requirements! Go for it!
Did ever actually build one?
@@pedroclaro7822 Not yet...but I am learning to weld!
A good review. Sadly the BOB bike trailers are now discontinued (both the Yak and Ibex models). Apparently a corporate decision by the company that owns BOB - a British multinational called Britax!
Thanks for sharing it with everyone!
I saw your post on youtube and i like it
For your information I have been hunting this channel down for about 6 months now. And I have found out that they just google things and they proceed to copy lists they find on the internet. They are NOT a group of outdoor enthusiasts. (Sorry if this came of as rude, just keeping people informed in this crazy world)
Thanks for watching! Stay with us and keep supporting.
@@goOutdoorZone sad....
I’ve had a BOB Yak trailer for nearly 25 yrs it’s a real shame can no longer buy new in UK . It’s Basic , almost nothing to go wrong , no suspension but tough as you like . I repaint it every now and then and replace wheel bearings . Just last week transported a single bed frame ( dismantled) with help of rear rack . Then a chest of drawers no problem .
That's a bummer we can no longer buy that. Thank you for sharing your experience!
I have the Burley Coho XC. I love it, but another con that should've been mentioned is that you have to buy the hitch separately.
You're right! For most people, that would be a major downside!
@4:39 re: BOB IBEX/ 6 attachment options? more like three but in different lengths. I had to saw off and sand smooth (a routine accommodation covered in the manual) the excess length of the quick release threads for my 135mm width. To "Go Fat" might require some custom work depending on your frame and hub. Last I checked the thru axle required to mount the BOB was an aftermarket boutique manufactory done by an owner. There are also end caps for bolt and wrench axles. I have end caps on a second bike and a third bike is a front wheel drive recumbent called a CRUZBIKE with a 110mm rear quick release width that I was barely able to accommodate at that length because the threading is short after that cut. The BOB system truly is very fast to switch between bikes. All of the options use the same math and materials at the points of contact.
Plastic Attachment Point? he must be talking about the fender? Maybe the nylon bushing(s) in the vertical hinge?
Thanks for your thoughts!
Really great information. Liked the pro and con section.
Glad it was helpful!
In order to claim 70 pounds as a weight limit, it has to transfer about 35 pounds to the rear axle of the bicycle. So, the True load on the little 16 inch wheel is, in effect, 35 pounds. Clever loading.
Oh great! Thanks for shaing your view! Cheers!
What about the 2 wheel Burly Nomad? That is the trailer I chose because of its stability.
Burly Nomad is a great one!
Wow, very good your clip
Thank you! Cheers!
@@goOutdoorZone thank you
I use a Burley Nomad I love it but it is very expensive in the UK!
Thanks for sharing!
Electric power to a bike wheel without weight to give it traction means a lot of wheel spins and worn tyres. For the powered trailer to be of use, you would always have to have the trailer loaded with weight.
Absolutely!
Or don't go full power if it isn't needed...
I am planning a tour in Italy with one of these, so I don't have to stick to one place to sleep.
Some questions to experienced users:
1. How safe are these in terms of use on a roadbike with high speeds? If I plan touring the Dolomites for example and doing 70-80 km/h on the downhill for minutes on end on a roadbike (with rim brakes), what is the risk of fishtailing or the wheel spinning out in corners?
2. How do these limit stability? Of course it can never be as bad as with a saddle-bag when you pedal standing which flip-flops the whole bike, but I assume the extra drag will make pedalling more strenuous due to inertia, especially on climbs. How bad is it and are there any differences between the models (e.g. because of their suspension differences, some are with coils)? Does it ruin a roadbike experience or is it simply some extra watts but you don't really feel something's dangling behind you?
3. How do these models differ in mad weather (e.g. rain/mud) in terms of putting up weight (on the faltbeds especially, frame, wheels) and how does wheel/rim clogging affect the increased drag?
4. Any experience with putting all your gear in it (tent/sleeping bag/clothes) for a multiple-week tour? Is the extra weight bareable or is it better to do star-excursions from a central location and only bring the trailer along for an occasional one-way ride, with less baggage?
Finally, can someone link me a comparison on drag between these, tested in different environments? (wet roads, asphalt vs dirtroads, etc.)
Many thanks for any tips!
First of all, which one do you want to take with you? If you plan touring the Dolomites with a speed of up to 70-80 km/h on the downhill, it will be fine (if you are on a straight line). Still there will be risk of fishtailing in the corners. Secondly, it's true that it's not as bad as carrying saddle-bags. However, it'll limit stability (compared to the ride with no trailer) and it'll be strenuous on long climbs. It's mostly better to do star-excursions but we went to a multi-day trip with bags, tents and other things. It was fine actually. We believe there might be exceptions for downhill or uphill situations.
You're welcome and thanks for your comment!
@@goOutdoorZone I am actually trying to find a suitable one for my more sportful needs (100+ km's daily in mountainous regions for at least a week before restday) with the option to overnight at different destinations (and not having to return to my pitched tent each time), so it was more of a general inquiry on whether there are major differences between the models in terms of stability or whether safety warnings apply to all. I just read someone talking about these being extremely unstable when they are loaded and going on a steep downhill, up to life-threatening situations, because the weight while braking pushes on the rear axle and lifts up the front, making it very hard to brake properly (plus making cornering dangerous due to lack of grip, without even talking about tailspinning). I haven't seen anyone actually showing a downhill ride with a fully packed one, so would be curious how it really behaves.
Like you mentioned, the long climbs are the real trick here, if we assume the downhills are taken with caution: the fact that you can pack freely also means that you can overpack for the hills, something that would be impossible without the trailer, as you don't have so much space on the bike itself, no matter how many bags you use.. My compact gearing and doing 100+ km's per day with thousands of meters of altitude means that I would probably not be able to even manage with my gears or risk of blowing too early and cutting the holiday short.. Again, something nobody talks about when discussing these trailers.
All in all, having browsed dozens of reviews now, I have come to the conclusion that the real advantage is if I want to transport things of VOLUME, rather than WEIGHT. Because you could fit heavier stuff in bikepacking bags (in the saddlebag esp.) but too much weight and that kills the roadbike trip, because the trailer has an own weight of 5-7 kg in addition to the excess weight, while a saddlebag weighs next to nothing.
For example, if I were to take my tent along (plus sleeping bag) in a saddle bag, I still carry less additional weight uphill than if I were to put the trailer on the bike. True enough, the trailer does not weigh on the bike itself, but that by itself is not always an advantage, considering mentioned forces working during the descent or the additional drag caused by the trailer wheel.
I have not really come up with anything voluminous that justifies the trailer, so at the moment I am actually ditching the idea, it is not comaptible with my needs for this particular roadtrip.
Looks like something more suitable for tours where you're really forced to pack all equipment on the bike, in addition not doing major climbs.
Nonetheless, thank you for your fast reaction and advice! :)
As a Non driver, and some one who rides a bike almost every day, for this and that, including grocery shopping. I prefer the Burley Nomad trailer, with luggage rack. 16 inch tires, two. and a 100 pound load capacity. Water resistant, but then again I do not go to the store in the rain. When camping I put cloths and such into their water proof bags. It also folds up quite small. And all trailers are expensive, and I really wonder why.
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. Cheers!
I love it too especially with the rack.
Hi guys...
I cannot find the number three anywhere...do you have any idea where can I get it in Europe?
Thanks in advance for your kind answer..!!!
You're welcome. You can buy this one from here:
geni.us/FreeparableT2
Can it be adapted to have a larger wheel to match the bicycle.?
We think, you have to DIY for that.
I want 4 & 1✌🚲
Can you get fenders for this bike?
Yes, you can!
tout terrain Mule FTW
Great!
I need trailers that take two small dogs znd luggage rack
You need to go for a spacious one then!
Simple
Yeah! Simple and practical.
Is this an AI robot voice because I am finding it difficult to understand due to the flow and incorrect emphasis.
But my dog is 85 almost 90 pounds... I need to take him with me, they don't make hardy pet trailers for really heady dogs and I can't leave his stuff behind.
You have a special case. We think many people do. There are baby trailers, but not the one for dogs or pets. But you can look at some of the camper trailers for bikes if you want.
You forgot to mention the Monoporter one wheel trailer. Is 100 Prozent made in Germany, Bavaria.
Noted. Thanks for sharing!
1.16.21
Not quite, limited axle and thread types for fitting.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Hi I am cyclist from India 🇮🇳 I really need this trailer please help me how to buy this products in India
Please follow the links in the description.
Would be better if you could put the price
Narration is a bit monotonous and difficult to hear clearly at times - too much script reading spoils what would otherwise be a very useful review. More detailed info on hitching mechanisms would be helpful.
Noted! Thank you!
Great bike , rides smooth czcams.com/users/postUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L I added a bigger spring loaded seat to it . Takes a bit of adjusting cables to get brakes and shifting to perfect . I've owned quite a few bikes in the past that were absolutely uncomfortable to ride and they always ended up as garage wall decor . I'm not seeing that with this one. It's pretty light I've only ridden it a few miles but I like it . As for the pedals falling off in the other reviews , the pedal arms are aluminum along with the pedal studs look to be also . I would not overtighten them. I can see it would be very easy to overtighten them and strip the threads right off . All in all I think it's pretty good quality besides the aluminum pedal thing
We don't think so.
You got it wrong mate. The coho weighs in at 21,5 Ibs. It is a quite heavy trailer.
We stand corrected! Thanks!
not a one of these are available now :(
You might struggle finding the Free Parable one. But the rest of them is available for purchase. If you still find it hard, we can help.
How about trailers for a tricycle?
Noted. We will make a video about it. Thank you!
Price?
Check description
the T2 is the only innovation in all the products
Thanks for sharing.
CZcamsr named "Rob K" posted the below remark (which I have reproduced without permission, seriously overemphasizing that THIS IS NOT MY OPINION/CONCLUSION/WHATEVER!!!)
Rob K posted his remark on a video at the channel called "Pro Bike Reviewer"
_The CoHo has been reported for safety issues. Evidently they jackknife really easy while going down hill and braking at the same time. Many have been hurt badly by these._
WHY IS THERE NO CARBON FIBER TRAILERS???
We'll keep that in mind.
oh your so dead wrong: panniers are the best way to carry stuff, trailers are for carry what you can't put in pannier
Not sure he actually used any of them from the way he speaks and copied promo videos.
4 sizes of BOB ,huh? Never and now Currently none. The rest not much better. $500 coho @20+lbs LOL
Had to turn the volume up just to make out this is in English.
Sorry for that, we're now more careful about it! Thanks for sharing.
Too many commercials dang
No kickstand would be a bitch...
You've got a point!
No Extrawheel???? The lightest trailer on the market...
We're afarid there's no provided. But you can always buy an extra.
This is legal in your country
yeah!
@@goOutdoorZone OK
There is nothing about extra wheel. Sucks!
Slow down and speak clearly please.
Please adjust your microphone. Far too much fluff and hissing.
Great video otherwise, thank you
Sorry about that! Noted and working on it! Thanks for pointing out. Stay safe.
Send me an email when the narrator learns to speak ENGLISH
Stop beeing cant...english is NOT everybody s first language.
I don't like that I have to watch the entire video when I want to focus on one of the trailers.
🎻
Why not watch a review on that specific one??? You must be some sort of stupid.
Awful sound. Sounds like a typical USA pharma commercial
Sorry if you felt that way.
You haven't even shown what is probably THE best trailer available today - Radical Design's Cyclone IV.
Thanks for sharing.
lbs? please use normal measures.
While a minority of the world including me uses pounds, and I think switching over to the metric system would be a good idea, he doesn't have to switch to a system of measurement you understand just because you deem a measurement system you don't understand as not normal.
Maths.
@@scottishbananaclan We have spent blood sweat and tears to learn English. It's time for Aus Brits and USA to give something back :-)

I´m sorry you apparently used auto-voice, which is of very bad quality. Couldn´t understand about 20% of the words. Besides, for me personally it´s terribly annoying, and so I wouldn´t be caught dead subscribing to your channel
We're also sorry that you couldn't understand. But that wasn't an auto-generated voice. Thank you for the feedback.
