have a bike you like , of carbon? want to carry more ? get a bike trailer.

a handlebar bag is nice for your camera and snacks.
Well, I do have a bob trailer,but I never really thought about pulling it behind a carbon adventure touring bike...I'll have to mull that over.
Why are they even putting rack mounts on carbon frames ??? And here's another thing, why take a perfectly good touring bike like the Jamis Renegade Expat and throw a carbon fork on it ?
