So. Would you?

(The Ti frame refers to the bike doing the towing, not the Tagalong!)

Reason is the internal seattube sizes on my Ti gravel bike and my wife's Boardman CX are the same, meaning either of us can tow the littlest one.

Have used it with an alu frame loads, and think that as Ti is stronger, it should be fine. But as it's my nice bike, thought I'd check first!

(If Brant's around, it's my Pickenflick!)

What does your loaded trailer weigh in comparison to you and your bike? Say 10kg vs 80kg and give the force vectors, probably only 10% of that load acting on the seatpost, no worse say than a heavy seat pack. Apart from making sure the post is fully inserted and maybe not super-light would be my only concerns.
