The cart followed cyclocrossar across Finland to Nordkapp and part of the way back. Total load including cart weight 30 + -5 kg depending on the amount of food and water. More could have been done.
In the agglomeration, it is not the most enjoyable to tow, as the cart of course vibrates and bounces with boulders and asphalt joints. On the side of the road, it then comes in the wake like a train, and the weight is not even noticed. Absolutely good as a single tire, as the cart does not drop off the roadside and runs from where the phillary does not fall in curves. The suspension found in the Ibex model was missed only by quite a few namesake curls.
The bag certainly keeps the water out, but on the other hand it is just a big and spacious bag. There would be a need for compartments, although such ones can be helpfully made, for example, from dry bags of different colors. Unpacking and packing is a bit time consuming as the whole bag always has to be rearranged.
During the month's trip, Kassi got a lot of paint off the cart inside the cage thanks to the combined effect of road dust and rainfall. If you want to avoid it, it is advisable to tape the frame.
I recommend a separate load net on top of the bag so that the day bag and / or cooking utensils remain more easily accessible throughout the day.
Overall, an absolutely insanely good game. Convenient sliders at the front edges, allowing the cart and bike to be parked on the link on the slider. The only minus the start of the goals.
I would give 4.5 stars, but it doesn’t work here. The price is hard, but the cart will redeem it. Easy to remove & attach. Load capacity even too much if there is a hamster.
