Catrike Speed / Burley Nomad

Great looking combo...How does it ride?

Rides Great and the Nomad tracks well and pulls light, use it to buy Groceries, the Nomad will hold 100lbs. I also attach it to the Tandem. The Catrike trike runs 16 / 349mm in the front and a 451 in the rear all hold 120lbs pressure. You have the Trice right?

Not sure my trike is actually a Trice. It is made by ICE in Falmouth, but unlike their current machines it does not carry the Trice badge. Other than that, I believe it's just the same...

I've been considering a BOB Ibex for my Cat Expedition. Any thoughts on that combo?

I myself didn't care for that style not that there's anything wrong with the Bob. I chose the Nomad because it was a little lighter and held 100lbs. I use mine for going to the grocery store and the occasional weekend ride with the Tandem and I needed all the room I can get. Depending on your location it could have a bearing on a decision also, I'm in Florida so fabric for me was not an issue. if I were in the North country and in the snow the Bob would probably be a better choice because of its design. I think you just have too consider all the factors involved for you and make the decision that suits you best.

I pulled my Burley Nomad behind my RANS Rocket all across Missouri on the KATY trail along with a friend pulling his BOB trailer behind his V-Rex. Both worked flawlessly. The two wheels on the Nomad make it a bit smoother and more stable ride. But the removeable BOB bag is nice, too.

On a trike with a Nomad you have the potential of 5 different trail tracks. Then if two of you ride together it makes the riders following far behind wonder how far ahead that "group of ten riders" must be?
