I might add something here,

With a BoB trailer the hitching system sits on the bike's rear wheel's axle, so only part of the actual cargo weight is place there, the bulk is on the trailer's wheel. This means that unlike other trailers where the connection point is on the bike's frame and a greater twisting force is evident, the BoB seems to follow on behind relatively free of that problem. Once you gain experience loading a BoB correctly, high speeds can be achieved quite safely, it's all about knowing your limitations and bike handling skills, that applies to fully loaded panniers too.

On my SWBs panniers are my choice, MTB and 700c the BoB.
