I have a suspention front end on my bike. My wife and I decided to get a Bob and st it up on my bike, with extra hook ups set up on her bike so we can trade off on the trailer. This came about with our thinking that a front rack would be an issue on my bike (w/suspention front end) Hard to type with a stiff beer in me . So along the same lines with the OP would you still want to balance out on the front or let the fron be free of weight??
