Customer Reviews

	A Perfect fit for a family of 3 by a member from Sandpoint, ID on Mar 8, 2010
	3 years, 4700 miles, and 7 great trips, the best way to describe the experience is to simply say I often times forget it's back there. Two tents, 3 bags, full cooking gear, air mattress, laptop, etc., we're not the most sophisticated travelers but trailer has always kept us dry and fully stocked. I now have my dog riding in the trailer (40 lbs) as arthritis has taken her back legs away but she still likes to come along on my daily rides.

	Road Worthy by Jim McCracken from Clarkston, WA on Jun 16, 2009
	Just completed a 4 day, 260 mile loop around the Wallowa Mountains in Eastern Oregon pulling the Nomad with my road bike. I was self-contained with 35 pounds of gear & food. My bike handled very much like normal and I was able to do the hills with a 30 inch low gear. The downhills at 25-35 mph posed no problems with pulling or pushing. Daily mileage ranged from 50 to 82. Although the cover is waterproof, I took the extra precaution of lining the compartments with a plastic garbage sack since the design isn't water tight. I encountered heavy rain on three occaisions but no leaks. I also replaced the standard Kenda tires with Schwalbe Big Apples and had no flats, while my friend, who kept the standard tires flated once during the trip. While this route generally had good shoulders on the roads, one 10 mile stretch had narrow shoulders and high traffic and I was a bit nervous pulling the wider, two wheel trailer than I might have been with a one wheel trailer or panniers. I'm primarily a road rider and backpacker so this system worked well for me. If I decide to do more touring I'm likely to get a dedicated touring bike and Ortliebs which seems like a more bombproof option for the long haul.

	Makes your bike a Bike Utility Vehicle by A Medina from Bainbridge Island, WA on Feb 12, 2009
	I have been using the Nomad for over five years. I used to use the BOB trailer, and before that, panniers on racks front and back, and before that, backpack. I prefer the Nomad over all the other methods. It is stable at low and high speeds. The hinge does not influence the bike's handling in turns at any speed. I like the fully covered design, unlike the BOB which required managing the duffle bag, which was ok for smaller items but was not adequate for my change of clothes and laptop pc. The Nomad holds my suit and laptop pc nicely. It also holds groceries without having to repack them into a duffle bag, which I found to be a pain in the neck with the BOB or the panniers. The fully covered design of the Nomad keeps nasty weather off my possessions within, and lets me store things such as lock and pump in a concealed fashion. If the 100 pound capacity of the Nomad is not enough for your tastes, then consider adding it to your conventional racks and panniers. You can load the Nomad with the heavier items and take advantage of the lower center of gravity that choice would provide. There are a couple of negatives to report with the Nomad. The flat front acts as an air brake and does not let me ride as fast as I would without the trailer. It is, therefore, a little slower than the BOB. The Nomad also has two wheels instead of the BOB's one wheel, so there are two more opportunities to deal with punctures, but my experience has been pretty good in that department, with only one puncture in over five years.
