side to outside dimension, or whether your bicycle is com-
patible with the trailers, consult your bicycle dealer.
RIDING AND SAFETY TIPS
Pulling a B.O.B Trailer
Although the trailers have been designed to have as little
impact as possible on the handling and operation of your
bicycle, there are several points you need to be aware of
when pulling a trailer. The following information will famil-
iarize you with the peculiarities of pulling a trailer.
EXTREME ROTATION
In cases of extreme rotation of the trailer around the quick
release BOBBIN, in the counter clockwise direction, it is
possible for the fork to come in contact with the rear
derailleur mount as shown in
Fig. 3.
This contact can cause
damage to the derailleur mount, quick release, and retain-
ing pins and adversely affect the attachment of the trailer,
potentially resulting in the loss of control. It requires
approximately 20 degrees of counter clockwise rotation for
this condition to occur. This is beyond the intended scope
of use.

pivot housing and trailer fork. AVOID this condition. If you believe this has occurred,
inspect your derailleur, QR, and pins for damage. Note: reversing the installation of the
QR (install from the drive side / right side of bike) helps eliminate this problem (

).
