Nomad trailer question
So, I have gone back and forth for some time. The big question of which trailer to get. I think I have finally narrowed it down to the Burley Nomad because of the stability and the way it sits in the back(slightly off to the left to keep you out of the gravel and a nasty wipe out). The one defect that everybody complains about is the wheels don't have fenders. Can you put BOB fenders on Nomad wheels? They are both 16".. If you can than I am going to purchase the Nomad. Also, has anybody had any experiences with the Quik-Pack Trailer?

I can't think of any purpose the fenders would serve other then to lower the weight capacity of the trailer.

I have gathered from reading reviews that water comes into the trailer, mostly due to the wheels spurting out large amounts, forcing it up and under the rain cover and getting everything wet.
