I am looking at getting a trailer for bikepacking. I am new to this, and I am planning my first adventure in January on MLK weekend. I am planning on riding mainly forest service roads, and maybe some singletrack. Can anyone tell me anything about using a trailer? Do they work well for this type of travel? The unit I am looking at getting is an Aosom Steel One Wheeled Bicycle Luggage Carrier Cargo Bike Trailer. I found some on e-bay for a very reasonable price. I have looked at the B.O.B. trailers, but they are way out of my price range. I'm but a lowly public servant, and have a very tight budget. Also, building my own is out of the question. I have zero talent/ability, and even if I did I have no place to build said items. Also, I'll be using my Surly Karate Monkey on this adventure (full rigid / 29er). I was going to go single speed, but I think I will strip down my son's Gary Fisher Sawyer, and swap all the gears over to my KM. He'll be going with me, and he'll be riding my Marin Nail Trail 29er. Any helpful advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
