Product Reviews
From 1999 to 2007 Quik-Pak trailers were made in the USA in my Colorado workshop with strict quality control, but limited production capacity. In 2009 our first trailers were received from our overseas manufacturer. Due to a lack of personal contact with the manufacturer, quality control suffered. Our first batch of 50 trailers had issues with their bags(misplaced grommets, etc.). We provided a "fix" since I think I can fix most things. In retrospect, the fix was not our best option, but as a start-up company with limited finances that was our only option.
For 2010 all the issues were addressed, a new cargo lid was created, a longer tongue gave a sharper turning radius, a new owner's manual was printed, and quick-release axles were added. The new Quik-Pak has the same design, but it is a whole new machine. It is our goal to be "Simply the Best" in bicycle trailers, and we think the 2010 Quik-Pak moves us in that direction.
Thank you.

The trailer is bomb proof! I did a 3400 mile ride down the east coast and it trailed behind the bike nicely. It tipped over twice and kept on rolling ( I did have to take it to an auto body shop to weld the hitch arm). Very light weight. Holds plenty of gear and you hardly know it's there. However, it is far from being waterproof. On the five days it rained, the trailer bottom was filled with a half inch of water at the end of the ride. I can't figure out where the water is getting in and have tried to figure out how to keep things dry in there. I have resorted to putting my three bags of gear in 10 gallon Zip lock bags so I don't have to take everything out at the end of the day to dry everything. If they could cure the waterproofing issue, I would give the trailer a rating of "5." But, this is a serious issue while touring and I have more to do at the end of an 80 mile ride than to lay every piece of my gear out all over the motel room so it will be dry by the next morning.Rated 2 out of 5 Stars
It really sounds that from the reviews submitted that this is a possibly good product that needs the company to get it's act together. If I paid that kind of money and got an owners manual that suggested that I redo holes with grommets and have a needle and thread available I would have been REALLY pissed. I think that I'll stay with my Burly Nomad which came from the factory as a well designed and complete package and which now has over 3000 trouble free miles on it.Rated 1 out of 5 Stars
My second review....As we already know that this trailor was a great idea that was excuted rather sloppily. But , that said ,once all the details of manufacturer flaws are addressed, this trailor handles/pulls like a dream...I felt as stable as a train at speed (25+mph).I climbed over 6000 feet (90 miles) in one day with 100 pounds+ of camping gear (between F/R panniers and trailor). It's nice not to have to dig in panniers to find stuff and It's nice to leave the trailor for some burden free riding. The trailor got hit by ( it just flipped)someone turning that didn't see it( I don't use the flag) and survived without a bruise. This is a great trailor for those who like to tinker and improve on a great but sloppily manufactured trailor. This could be a lot more popular trailor if done right.Rated 2 out of 5 Stars
I just unpacked my Quik-Pac. What's with these phonetic names anyway.
The good: materials seem sturdy, the wheels (Alex DA16 20" / 406 rims) are overkill for the carrying capacity.
The bad: 'some' assembly required. Some additional materials required.
What you will need to get (or borrow) before you start
- Black'Tear-Aid' tape: at least enough to cover 4 2" x 3" patches
- Black Duct / Duck tape
- Loctite 222 / 242 / 262 / nail polish (all mentioned in the literature, I believe only 222 and 242 are required)
- Hole punch or preferably 2/8" grommet tool 'and' 2 grommets
- Black thread, and I suppose, a needle
IMHO none of the above (well maybe the loctite) should be necessary, and all should be supplied even if they were.
First you have to reverse the folding frame mount bolts. And then reinforce the inner bag over these bolts to prevent chafe with the duct tape overlaid by some Tear-Aid. Why could this not have been done at the factory?
Then, the infamous misplaced grommets....
New holes have to be made with the grommet tool, or punched (ick) or cut (even more ick), and preferably new grommets installed.
Then you are advised to remove the old grommets, and patch the holes with yet more Tear-Aid. Of course, it looks very much to me like somebody has already done this to a previous set of grommets, as there are already some patches in place...
Lastly, you are advised to reinforce the flag pole mount pockets with black thread....
As to why all these fixes have not already been done, I have no idea. If I had known about it, I'd probably have bought the Burley Nomad.Rated 3 out of 5 Stars
First of all I'd like to state that the directions are pretty lame, dark pics that are difficult to follow. Putting it together I ran into a snag..The holes that are in the frame to attach the axle assembly were too small, so I had to ream them out...pretty frustrating if you don't have access to a rat tail file..luckily I had one. But, saying all that It is a great design and should provide years of touring bliss. I'll write another review when I have some more experience with it on the road. , we shall see.Rated 5 out of 5 Stars
