What do you think of the seat post hitch vs the axle hitch?
I like the seat post hitch - on my Dahon Mu Uno, I can actually attach the Travoy with my seatpost rack underneath and hang panniers....load that sucker up, lol. I know Burley makes a "rack" hitch but having the Travoy attached up a bit higher reduces the footprint which is already long due to the smaller tires. Attaching lower to the rack or axle makes a much longer footprint. If that matters to you - it does to me when I'm clearing intersections.
