I traveled to Ireland for 3 weeks with the first proto-type BOB trailer in 1997 — It sure generated A LOT of interest!

To travel on the plane, instead of the Bob dry bag, I purchased a large, inexpensive hockey equipment bag and put lock, stock and barrel into it — that way, there was NO chance of another baggage charge on the plane, as it was not another “wheeled vehicle” — worked like a charm — open the bag, take out the trailer, replace the wheel, and put belongings back into bag — only have to deal with it when you are packing it up for a flight. And it tracked perfectly up and down all the hills…

I bought my BOB trailer used to carry 5 gal bottles of water. I did have to make a jig to hold the bottle from moving side to side, but it works great with the 44 lbs. of water I use it for. I have no problems pulling it up hills or going down hills.

Yeah, I don’t think that is something you have to worry about. Maybe if you were planning to carry a piano on the back of your trailer, then that might be something to worry about, but otherwise I think you’ll be just fine.

I thinking about a “BOB”, but am worried about the weight “pushing me around during a long, down hill run. Would it make sense (or is it even possible) to apply some type of breaking system to create a bit of drag on the rear wheel. It wouldn’t need a lot of breaking power, I just thinking some sort of a Drogue for the bike.

Am I paranoid?
