1: Burley Nomad with rack.

2: BOB Ibex 28 plus, with the recumbent rack over the tire.

3: Extrawheel. I have Ortlieb classic panniers, so I would only be buying the trailer.

My first thought is that the Ibex and Extrawheel might be nice because they track at about the same width as the bike.

I could load the Burley to minimize tongue weight. I have checked out Burley kid haulers and they are very light weight and seem to roll efforlessly.

Your opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Paul
Burley Nomad worked perfectly for our tour. It also made a nice rolling carrier in hotels and the elevators.
