>>2061727Almost a decade ago I hauled 4x50lbs bags of mulch using a trailer, I finished the job but bent the hitch. I straightened the hitch but it snapped while hauling nothing. I had a bad experience with trailers but I had the shittiest garbage tier trailer, if you're going to get one get a good one. It's kind of why I swear by front racks now. (Rear racks are another story)
A 24 bottle water pack is about 25lbs, the limit of a strong front rack is 50lbs for lighter duty and 75-100lbs for heavier duty bikes, depending on setup, wider bars help steer, wider tires help handle the load. A trailer is for over 100lbs and will cost 2-3x of a front rack maybe more. An empty front rack doesn't effect handling that badly and a trailer adds so much inconvenience to what should be the most convenient tra/n/sportation option. What effects front racks the most is significant aero drag from a big bag, foldable one is nice but a rigid has advantages, just get stronger lol
