The 2 nomads we had on the Otesha project tour I rode on were both good, no troubles from them. They had versatile hitches and would go on every single bike on the tour. They never broke down or suffered any serious problems, although there was an incident where someone hadn't tightened one of the wheels in enough and it nearly popped off while in motion.

The flatbed is pretty nice too, we had one back at the Good Life bike co-op and it was useful for toting equipment out to community outreach events.

I like them both, although last time I looked at my catalogues, they are now up to a ludicrous $520 flatbed / $610 nomad retail price here in Canada. They're nice, but simply not worth that money.
