Hiyas, I'm starting to think seriously now about my trailer for a circuit of Oz in 2017. I'm looking at either buying ready-made or a custom build and placing a cheap cargo pod on type. There are various options for bike trailers for carrying bikes (just a frame and runners), and I'm wondering about modifying one of those. However, they typically don't have suspension.
As a result, I'm wondering about the effectiveness of suspension on a lightweight trailer. It seems that the smallest suspension load that can be bought is around the 250kg mark - probably more than double what I'd expect to be towing. I'm thinking that the suspension wouldn't actually be loaded much and would just bounce around behind the bike anyway. So, for those of you that have trailers, do you find you get much movement/travel in the suspension or does it actually bounce?
Cheers, Rob.
