Hi. I have a few bikes but just recently got myself a nice Trek 1500. It's a very nice bike but it's so.....willowy. I also have a Burly kid-trailer. What I am wondering is if attaching the trailer to the Trek would damage the rear triangle at all. DOes any one have experience pulling trailers with full-on road bikes?

Around here I see "racer mommies" (and daddies) pulling child trailers with nice CF road bikes.

It won't hurt it. Still, I pull mine behind the beater mountain bike (with slick tires) because speed just isn't an issue then. Plus, the low gears come in handy when I'm hauling the extra payload up a hill.

I use a Specialized Sequoia road bike to pull our little guy in his Burley. Haven't noticed any issues. It doesn't seem like there's that much pressure being applied to the frame.

Not at all. I pulled my daughters around for years with my roadie.

I pull my son on a colnago asso. It'll be fine.

ha ha, my colnago is also my race bike (for the next month or so)

I pull a burley with mine but I use the skewer mount and definately not the clamp that goes in the triangle. I will probably switch to an aluminum frame if I find one cheap mainly because if the rare hazard exists it will find me.

I have not had any issues...just be careful and well aware of your surroundings. Catch one of the trailer tires on a road sign or a post and it will very likely tear up a carbon chainstay....which is my fear.

The burley has a flexible mount and it will twist around pretty good, lessening the force on the hitch point. Again, no problems but you may want to keep a stand in the back of the trailer to keep the bike up when parked.

There also might not be a lot of clearance between your left heel and the clamp for the trailer depending on your bike size, geom, mount etc...at least I remember having this issue once.

Also make sure it's attached! While this may sound obvious I did have my trailer come loose on a steep descent.
