What are your favorites ?
Which hitch setups seem to work the best ?
We pull a BOB behind our tandem. (Rans recumbent) Except for the hills, we don't even know it's there. 145mm spacing is not a problem as far as I know; you'll just need the longer skewer, but the BOB should fit. BOB's are not for human cargo! We also have a double wheeled "Firefly" which is wider, heavier and was recalled by Axiom as the hitch could be faulty. The hitch could also chew up the finish on the left chainstay, if not protected. We don't use it at all as we prefer the BOB. Most recumbents can't take front panniers, so we have seen many singles and tandems pulling BOB's.
