I then found a BOB Yak trailer on Craigslist here in Phoenix used for $150. The Skewer is too short though because of the disc brakes being too wide.
The trailer doesn't have a bag but I have Ortlieb waterproof panniers from my last touring mountain bike(stolen 2 months ago) to throw my stuff in.
My next post will be a list of vital things I will be taking, but let me know what you suggest. By the way, what's a rotor(from the last post), and why would you take an extra, Curt Kurt?
NOTE- I have everything stock on the bike, except an softer seat, can I manage with the stock tires(I got cloth liners to prevent flats). I didn't even think about the tires until your post, mlh122. What would be the best/cheapest tire to get, and how many spares do you suggest?
Thanks, I'll be continuing on this post my whole trip!
