Hello,
I am looking at buying a Touring trailer online, as it is about half the price of buying it locally. I don't want to spend anymore than USD$240, and I like the BOB Yak trailers. Anyone know where I can buy them online at that price or cheaper?
Also, I am worried about the gearing on my bike. Although I wont be touring very far (up to about 300km home at the most) and I will avoid all the big hills, I have doubts about riding around in a 39x23 first gear. Is this low enough? I hope it is as I don't think I can afford to change things around. The trailer is going to dry up all my money, and I don't have a job (still at school).
Whats your ideas on all this?
Thanks.
