3.0 out of 5 stars Quick Release-lever leaves to be desired, November 23, 2009

We bought this trailer for touring with our tandem as well as for allowing us to transport larger items on our bike.We have used it for a four day tour and multiple errand rides around town.

The 28 version allows for use on bikes that have 700C wheels and fenders
Assembly took 15-30 minutes and the trailer came with proper instructions.

When riding you do not really notice the trailer all that much. If anything it makes the bike trail a little straighter. The hardest part of handling is the parking: Since it is near impossible to move the bike plus trailer backwards in a straight line you have to park the bike in such way that you can leave moving forward. Once you get used to that idea it is not that hard.

The biggest negative are the QR Levers. I have two QR levers, one for a standard bike and one for a tandem (145mm wide). It is hard to tighten them enough so that the rear wheel won't come loose. Twice I have had an issue with it: once on a... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars great trailer, will not fit offset wheels on fat bikes, August 13, 2012

This review is from: BOB Yak 28 Plus Trailer In Black (Includes Dry Sak) (Baby Product)
BOB makes great stuff and have for years.
This trailer went together in a snap and is well made and easy to use. On & off takes about 15 seconds once you have the skewer installed permanently on your rear hub.
I was told by BOB that this trailer would work on my Surly Pugsley with fat 3.8" tires and offset rims as long as it had 140mm hubs, it should be fine.
Well, it wasn't. I have a ton of clearance on one side and tire rub on the other. My rims are offset and so is my rear triangle, so add those up and it won't work.
Sadness. Not BOB's fault, so no stars docked and I will keep looking.
So FYI....if you have a fat bike with offset wheels and frame, this trailer will NOT work without modification(and thus, warranty voidance and danger of failure). But I wish it would!
