BOB is a company that produces high quality products, which encourage a healthy, outdoor,

car-free lifestyle. In addition to trailers, we also make full suspension jogging strollers. See

www.bobgear.com for our complete line of products. Before attempting to assemble or use

your new trailer, read and understand these instructions completely to insure proper

assembly and operation. If you are unclear on any point, contact your dealer or BOB before

use.

 BOB trailers can be attached to bicycles with wheel sizes between 20" and 28". Please see

the Trailer/Bike Compatibility chart at the end of this manual to determine which trailer is

compatible with your bike. The wheel size appears as a raised surface on the side-wall of the

bicycle tire. If your wheels do not meet these diameter specifications, it is unsafe for you to

attach the trailer. If you have questions about your wheel diameters or trailer compatibility with

your bicycle, consult your bicycle dealer or call us at BOB.

 Our trailers are intended to carry cargo only.

 Do not carry children or live animals.

 Cargo capacity: 70 pounds (32 kilograms)

 The more weight you add to the trailer, (just like a car) the more effect it will have on the

handling of your bicycle.

 All cargo must be securely fastened to the trailer frame. Shifting loads can adversely affect

bicycle handling and result in loss of control.

 Keep the cargo center of gravity low.

 The load height above the mesh platform should never exceed 18 inches (46cm). Loads

higher than 18" can adversely affect bicycle handling and result in loss of control.

 QR length must be correctly sized to your specific bicycle to insure safe operation.

 Make sure your bike's brakes are in top condition and properly adjusted. Always allow extra

stopping distance when riding with your trailer. Marginally performing brakes will be inadequate

for safe braking with the added load of a trailer. When riding in wet conditions use extreme

caution and allow even more distance for braking.

 Generally, car drivers don't expect bicycles to be pulling trailers. Use the included BOB

safety flag to be seen!

 When passing another cyclist, remember that you are approximately 4.5 feet (140cm) longer

than your bike alone!

 The YAK & IBEX come with wheel and fender reflectors for night visibility. Check that the

reflectors on both your bicycle and trailer are properly installed. Installation procedures follow

in this manual. Contact your appropriate state government office to learn of the lighting

requirements for your state / country.

 SPEED LIMIT: 25 mph (40 kph) A bike with trailer attached, steers and feels different.

Ride cautiously. Speed wobbles (and loss of control) can occur if speed limit is exceeded.

 It is CRITICAL that the wheels and tires of your bicycle and trailer are properly maintained

(see your bike dealer) and inflated to the normal operating pressure embossed on the sidewall.

 Some full suspension bicycles and rear suspension recumbents do not have adequate frame

stiffness to offset the forces of a fully loaded, moving trailer. The result can be a bike that is

sluggish, difficult to control or stop which could lead to a crash (and/or damage to the trailer

or contents). We strongly recommend test riding (braking and turning) the bike with a full,

non-human, test load [70 lbs (32kgs)] in a cautious manner (in an area absent of traffic hazards)

to determine if this condition exists. This condition could be exacerbated by wet, sandy, or

gravel covered surfaces.

 Some variables that can affect the control of your bike and trailer: improper installation of

BOB QR / improper installation of trailer fork retaining pins to BOB QR / improper installation

of trailer fork to YAK & IBEX frame / road conditions / wind speed and direction / cyclist's skill

level / weight of rider relative to the amount of weight in trailer / center of gravity of cargo /

integrity of all wheels (proper spoke tension and bearing adjustment)

 Rear racks and panniers are sometimes used in conjunction with the trailers. With some

frames (usually smaller sizes) it is possible for the bottom of the pannier to come in contact

with the top of the retention pin. This can cause the pin to release resulting in the unexpected

detachment of the trailer. This can lead to loss of control and injury. Make certain that this

condition does not exist. If it appears to be a problem, using our older style pin (PI9500) may

eliminate this problem.

 Attach and detach the trailer ONLY when it is in a straight line with the bike. You can bend

the fork otherwise. It is easiest to attach and detach trailer when it is unloaded.

 Protect all sharp objects from puncturing DRY SAK.

 The YAK & IBEX forks must be limited to approximately 20 degrees of rotation to avoid

contacting the rear derailleur and possibly bending the mount. (FIG. 2). This can happen

when riding over large, fallen trees, lifting the bike and trailer, or possibly when utilizing the

"park mode" feature (Fig. 31). Check the amount of clearance your bike's derailleur has before

riding.

This box/package should contain the following parts; check to make sure before starting to

assemble; if there are parts missing or you need replacement parts please call customer

service M-F 8:30 am -5 pm MST at 208-375-5171 or 800-893-2447. Do not use any substitute

non-original parts as this may lead to premature failure of the product.

Before proceeding with the trailer assembly and installation, you should confirm your

bike and trailer are compatible with one another. Reference the Trailer/Bike Compatibility

chart at the end of this manual.

BOB Quick Release or BOB Nutz ...what do you need?

Most modern bicycles use a quick release mechanism (QR) to secure wheels to the bicycle.

The YAK & IBEX trailers are attached to the bicycle with a specially designed BOB QR. The

BOB QR replaces the bikes original rear QR, and has a trailer attachment point on both ends.

We make our QRs in three lengths (standard, 145mm (tandem), and Santana/160mm). If

your bike does not use a QR to hold on the rear wheel, you will need a pair of BOB Nutz. BOB

Nutz and Quick Release specifications are listed at

end of manual.

NOTE: BOB TRAILERS INC. IS NOT RESPONSIBLE

FOR INJURY, DAMAGE, OR FAILURE THAT

RESULTS FROM FAULTY ASSEMBLY OR

MAINTENANCE AFTER RECEIPT OF PRODUCT.

1. UNPACK: Remove trailer, small

parts box and box contents, Dry

SAK, etc. Plastic packaging

material was used to protect the

rear dropouts and the wheel axles.

Remove these plastic pieces as

well as all other packaging material.

2. FORK ASSEMBLY: For shipping

purposes, the trailer fork has been

attached to the frame pointing to the rear of the trailer, Fig. 3. The fork

will need to be removed and rotated 180 degrees, and then reattached

prior to use, as shown in Fig 4.

A) Remove the lock nut (Fig. 3, using two 10mm wrenches) and flat washer

then fully remove the long 6mm bolt. This will free the fork from the

trailer frame. Remove the fork. To reinstall the fork pointing forward,

align the holes in the pivot plates of the trailer frame and the pivot

tube in the fork as shown in Fig. 4.

B) Insert the long 6mm bolt with a washer on each end then

tighten the lock nut, Fig. 4. Tighten the lock nut to 60 inch

pounds (70 cm-kgs).

3. SWING ARM INSTALLATION :(IBEX ONLY)

A) Begin by first removing the pivot bolt and washers,

Fig. 1, using two 10mm wrenches.

B) Next install the swingarm pivot in the shock tower.

The pivot is wider than the shock tower opening and

will need to be twisted so the left bushing/side of the swingarm goes through the opening first

and exits the left side window as shown in Fig. 5.

C) To get the right side bushing inside the tower, align it with the upper right hand corner of

the tower opening as shown in Fig. 6 and rotate forward. The pivot should now be inside the

shock tower. You will install the pivot bolt after installing the upper shock bolt.

D) Remove the upper shock axle, Fig. 1. Align the shock axle with the holes in the shock tower

and install the axle and washer, Fig. 7, and tighten to 60 inch-pounds (70 cm-kgs) using two

5mm Allen wrenches.

E) The pivot axle will need to be aligned with the pivot bolt holes in the shock tower. These

are located above and forward of the windows in the sides of the tower. The fit between the

pivot axle and tower is a tight tolerance fit so it will take some effort to move the pivot into

position. This can be done by pushing on the back of the swingarm and rotating the pivot axle

into alignment with the pivot bolt holes as

shown in Fig. 8. Once aligned, install pivot bolt

and washers, Fig. 8, and tighten to 60 inch-

pounds (70 cm-kgs) using two 10mm wrenches.

4. FENDER ASSEMBLY :(YAK ONLY)

A) Fender Reflector Installation - The fender

reflector attaches to the rear portion of the

fender. The reflector has a threaded stud built

into it. Attach the reflector to the fender by

inserting the stud into the upper hole and the

plastic "alignment pin" into the lower hole of

the fender as shown in Fig. 9. Next, place the

washer over the portion of the stud extending

through the underside of the fender. Thread

the nut on and tighten with an 8mm wrench.

B) Fender Bracket Attachment - First, attach

the fender bracket to the fender. Place the

fender bracket in the center of the two holes

in the fender and align the mounting hardware

with them as shown in Fig. 10. Insert the screws

through the holes from the outside of the fender.

Place the threaded backing plate on the inside

of the fender and tighten the screws using a

screwdriver.

C) Fender Attachment - The fender attaches

to the trailer in three places. Begin by removing

the screw and washers from the forward fender

mount on the trailer frame. Attach the fender

to the trailer by inserting the bolt and washer

through the slot in the fender. Next place the

second washer behind it (sandwiching the

fender with washers) as shown in Fig. 11.

Tighten the bolt securely with a 4mm Allen

wrench. Next, attach the fender brackets to

the left and right dropouts. Insert the bolt

through the washer and then through the loop

in the fender bracket as shown in Fig. 12. Align

the bolt with the eyelet in the dropout and

tighten securely with a 4mm Allen wrench.
