Howdy,
plans afoot for a family trip next Summer, camping and pulling a trailer with our dogs aboard.
I want to rejig my current all-road bike for the job with as few major changes as possible.
Its a solid bike recently used on TCR.
I'll install a Roberts axle for towing, and hopefully be able to wolf tooth the gears to get a wider spread of low pulling ratios.
What I am scratching my head about is how to install a sturdy kick stand. I have towed stuff before and know the inconvenience of setting the bike to one side while hitched up without some kind of stand.
Ideally a big old double stand like on a moped would be what I was after but I'm not sure how thats going to jive with the chainring up.
Anyone got any thoughts on the best way to go.
Weight isn't to much of a factor as I'll be towing 75lb of dogs and all their crap as well as tents etc.
