I have a non suspension version of the BOB trailer. I have been using it for over 10 years and absolutely love it. From getting a week's worth of groceries to traveling around the country, this is the perfect cargo trailer. I must add that one should also buy a good quality lock to go with this trailer. Unfortunately, in Calgary at least, it is a thief magnet.
Hey that was a pretty intense video as I watching and understanding the weight distribution of a bob trailer and also understanding what section of the trailer itself determines where you would put suspension is really about alot of PHYSICS. Thankyou for the shout out have a good day
Super nice trailer Bikeman, thumbs up.
This helped. Thanks. I can't wait to go on my tour.
I just bought one because of your video thank you good job dude
Thanks for explaining this trailer. Nice video.
You crazy dude!! Lol! Great video mate, and thanks for reviewing it, think I will get one of these! Keep up the good work, crazy man!!
thank you for the review
Great vid- well done! Chrome-moly tubing is the way to go for any true cargo trailer. FYI, just for true peace-of-mind (or in my case to nix my paranoia), plan to replace the stock tire with the Schwalbe Marathon 16x1.75", plus a good quality tube & spare. Money well spent!
I absolutely❤️how it has a shock in the back
he got the squirl on his head 😂
I always like the BikemanforU videos. I use trailers a lot and I recommend people with bicycles to think about the benefits that a trailer might bring.
For touring and commuting I like two wheeled trailers. The single wheeled trailer can place strain on the rear axle and as the cyclist leans left or right then they are also moving the mass on the trailer. With the two wheeled trailer the stress at the hitch is very much less and the mass is decoupled from the bicycle much more.
For touring I think people might want to look at the Cyclone by Radical. For any kind of use they might be interested in the Carry Freedom. There are many others of course.
Whatever trailer you decide on I think you will find it will add so much capability to your bicycle.
brighton dude hell yeah I want this particular trailer someday😀
I bought a used trailer that was missing the attachment clips. I ordered a new set, no problem. They should never wear out being there really isn't any weight ,or stress on them.
You are awesome
nice video, Thanks :)
just a quick question, I have a Surly troll and I would like to instole the BOB not with the QR, could you tell me if there are some nuts to be use with the hole in between QR and rack hole? I thinks is a 10mm tred ..
many thanks

Nice trailer but my problem is I have a Easy Motion Neo Jumper electric bike so I can not use the custom quick release axle, are there any special adapters to get this trailer to work on an E bike.
Can you hook this up to a road bike with a quick release rear hub or does it have to be a mountain bike?
That trailer is good to take it to Spain, to the Camino to Santiago road
What are the DIMENSIONS (L - W - H) of the bag/cage? Does this model come with STANDARD THREAD for the rear wheel nuts so the hub doesn't have to be changed?
Good 1
Wouldn't work on my 2019 Trex X Caliber 8. The derailleur stuck out too far and the tongue hit the mounting nut on the hanger if I went over a bump more than a few inches or climbed a curt. Bob doesn't have any solutions for that problem and I can't see my way to hacking something that might fail on the trail somewhere.
Where can i buy this trailer bike ang how much
how i want to order this trailer...shipping to malaysia.
Will the trailer fit a touring cycle with 26" wheels?
yes
Nice job. What about thru axels?

they need to make them for a reg. hook up like some do not have the quick release on them. or you cant put one on a cruiser bike or others that have a reg axle .
I know you can easily lock the trailer to something, or route a cable through the trailer and bike to secure the trailer, but it would be nice if the attachment used to secure the trailer to the bike had a lock. I carry around a Kryptonite U-lock and cable to secure my bicycle frame, rear wheel and front wheel to something whenever I leave the bike and I can't keep an eye on it. The U-lock and cable is a real pain to carry around because it is heavy and bulky, but it offers good security. I secure my bicycle seat and post with a bicycle chain, which is always attached. If I know ahead of time that I am going to park the bicycle where I can still keep an eye on it, than I use a combination cable lock to lock the bike, because it is much lighter and less bulky than the more secure U-lock. If I had this trailer it would mean I need another lock to secure everything. I wish these companies would think more about security when designing their products.

The problem is that i would suspect some one with a set of pipe cutters could quickly cut that pipe and release any lock. Pipe cutters look like a C clamp and adjust to fit the size of pipe used. They will cut through steel as they score a ring around the pipe and continues to score deeper as u turn the clamp. So even if the chain is secure they could still take it. Not mention if things are just strapped in the trailer, that isnt secured either. And a pair of bolt cutters would make the snach and run much easier.....or else you stuff just gets unstrapped and walked off with.
The best bet is probably a lock box trailer.

Made from old bed frames. Thats much harder to cut.
Somebody unboxed it ahead of time didnt they lmao
😳 *GEEZUS... Man...!!! What you been smoking..? 😤 Don’t be so tight & keep it ALL to your self. Pass it around..!* 😆🤣😂
This a thought about all trailers around on the market.
I wonder why ... The trailer is around 6kg... There are complete bicycles weighting that weight...
1.wheel weight 1.2kg/1.5kg complete with tire.
It means the whole thing is super heavy for the size and the weight it is supposed to carry (max load 30/45kg).
The frame only of the bob it is around 4.5kg I supposed. Bicycle steel frame weight around 2.2kg...
I do look forward for someone to come up with a practical solution for traveling and trailers with a weight under 4kg
Quality aluminum is light but is expensive and other than you... perhaps there is no for a $900 ibex? No mystery whatsoever as the steel vs aluminum debate has been with us for many many decades. This trailer IS a practical solution, WILL carry the weight limit claimed and have been spotted all around the world. Rather than over-analyze...go riding.
I have a 24"x 3" - 3-speed rear wheel will this trailer hook up to my rear end??? and no I did not mean my ass. LOL If not is there a way I make it work????
I bought a clone and I'm watching this to see how to install it.
Dude, love the vid but I'm always watch'n for a wild first nation aboriginal to come charg'n through the door to take your top knot!
My 10 speed is a bolt on I don't think this will work
They make Bob's Nutz that I think are for bolt on wheels. There are also thru axles for bikes that take those. You can attach it to almost any bike. I love mine.
does it work for a fat bike ????? anyone
Check out coastkid71 video he has a bob trailer with his fat bike. He might have your answer
Man boy
Nice. I'd be slightly fearful that the little clips that secure the bike to the Bob may get damaged or lost over time. They are such an integral peace of the system. It's not like you can make new ones.
carry a cotter pin with you
OK..😅
can I haul out a deer on it?
probably
Le cadreur filme mal.
3:55 says nylon bushing in the connector bracket. What a waste. Spend all that intelligence and time to build a beautiful, fantastic and functional trailer, a work of art, and you just destroy your brilliance with a 20 cent piece of plastic. I dont have time to fix that thing and I need durability in back country. A few pennies on piece of plastic, which should have been a dollar's worth of brass.
bad joke with the cdl license. you almost lost me as a viewer because when i hear things like that i close out the video as that isnt for me
Wtf are you going to transport with that ?? A pillow ?? Get the fuck out..where you get that from a Barbie toy set ..how cute
