I am therefore curious as to why you wish to tour in Cambodia with a trailer. That reasoning would then drive my choice of no trailer, two wheels or single wheel.
Well, i guess a few reasons really. My girlfriend has limited experience on bikes, let alone touring, so until she gets more comfortable on her bike i think it's better for her to tour with an unladen bike or maybe just a little. She also has alot of gear that i thought we could drop off on the way, but that's maybe 1200 kms away. So a trailer or possibly 8 panniers?
Also i figured, given that i'm hardly seing any bikes of my size here for touring and nothing in the way of out and out touring bikes, then taking the load off the bike and onto a trailer might be better.
You much prefer panniers over trailers then?
Cheers
