A few comments on tracking and number of tracks
...but having the pivot behind the rear wheel rather than in front of it makes the BOB a little more prone to fishtailing at high speed.
One thing that is often overlooked with the BOB, and important; Make sure you tighten up the connecting rod to the specified torque setting as discussed in the manual (60 inch lbs). What this does is stabilize (to a degree) the tendency of the BOB to fishtail by adding some friction to the left/right pivot points. There are some manufacturers who produce conceptually similar "equalizing" devices that are used on RV trailers. One's even called an equalizer hitch. How the BOB is loaded is also very critical as to stability.
Merriweather, thanks for your insightful review. You certainly make many good points, none of which I can disagree. I use my BOB exclusively for touring, and like you said, it's probably superior for that application. It also fits nicely in the vestibule of my tent.
