Just thought I would put up a pic of my rig with it's new addition. The manufacturer was not sure if it would work with a full squishy and discs but here it is. 7" rear travel and 8" rotors and it works great.:) The little one and I went out for a spin this am for a test ride and what else, she falls a sleep;)

p.s. Sory about the pic, Guess I did not reduce it enough. :(

I think I'm develping cataracts.
I like the off-road family adventure look.

Hows the kid with the drops and tranny's?

She has not been off anything higher then 6" yet but the carrage has adjustable suspension so it absorbs alot of the impact. Pluse I rigged up a foam seat to absorbed even more. But the more bumps and faster the ride the better she sleeps.

Sweet DBD, how old is your daughter.

I bought a bike seat for my son and would take him on trails with me. The bumpier the ride the more fun he had. He would say to me, "faster Daddy, Faster!" This year for Christmas we bought him his own bike, and by New Year's Day he was riding w/o training wheels. (He just turned 4 two weeks ago)

Aint it great to bike with Kids?

She is a stout 9mo. At the rate she is going she may just be on her first bike by 2yr. She has a great sense of ballance although she has not quite got the hang of right foot then left foot yet ;)
The hardest thing to do with her is getting her to keep her helmet on. Once in the trailer she leaves it alone after about 2 min of riding.
The only part she did not like were the little rocks hitting her in the face so I had to add the fender to the trailer.
