guess i'm just annoyed at the marketing......taking your basic
riding on dirt/gravel roads and packaging it as something
breathtakingly new....and then convincing the customer to
pay twice as much for a bike with half the capability of
what's already on the market and perfectly suited to the
activity.

but i'll shut up for now...


johnbort: trailer won't take all the weight off, you've still got
some weight on the axle where the bob is attached. probably
not a simple 50/50 distribution, depends on how you load the
trailer.

you've already got 215 over the rear. better to move some
weight up front and skip the rack trunk. handling will then
be different. you may like it, or not.
