>>851516You can fit almost the same amount of stuff in 4 panniers than in one trailer. You still need to worry about weight. Remember you will be hauling that shit for a thousand miles.. Don't skimp on tires. Get nice fucking tires, you won't want to get a blow out 500 miles in. Getting flats every 100 miles sucks too. Schwalbe is bretty good. Personally I use Maxxis re-fuse. Make sure you know how to fix basic things on your bike. Know how to retune a wheel etc.
