Tow Ropes - TRAX

TRAX

Just spotted this on Ruedasgordas YouTube channel.

Seems like a must-have for towing the family. (Although, had my Tuesday evening nightride companions had one or two of these, I'd probably never have ordered the Jam2!)

They do a version for the new TQ Motor'd Flyon's ..

10 euro shipping to Australia for a 180 gm product?
They claim orders over 50 euro get free international shipping yet shipping is still charged if you order 2.( edit, they fixed this after an email)

Disappointing, I would have liked to take advantage of their 15% black fruday discount

Something like this if it was a bit longer would do it ... is only about 1.2 meters, which is probably just too short ..

The first one says the strap is rated upto 330lbs.

Just remember to clean up after your fellow riders if they get caught short when out on a ride.

Something like this one .. 3m .. eash to strap round seat post with attached wrist band. Probably need to shorten the "floating" section and modify it into a short loop to hook over the head set.

Zim, thanks for those suggestions but none come close to looking as functional as the trax. I even considered compact retractable keychains, but at the end of the day I'd rather pay the extra and have something that is reasonably light , compact, and hopefully suitable for towing kids up hills. There's a self shuttle mtb facility nearby with a 3 km / 300 m elevation 4x4 track - if this thing means I don't have to do the drive / ride back up thing it'll be worth every cent.

ps if any australians are considering ordering one but don't like the 10 euro postage fee, I might have a spare - send me a private message edit - sold

Love mine guys, it’s changed what we can do for family outings to be fair as I can now get my youngest daughter to the top of our local trail more than once! You all know the pain, a 4hr round trip and the kids are whinging after one loop as they don’t want to do anymore uphills.

Did four laps last weekend, and have been there three times in a row since buying the Trax tow rope. ??

Went out today with 4 guys on magic bikes (funny things from the future that don't need charging)..

One of the guys was pretty shot from a 220k ride yesterday so was struggling a bit, did some pushing and pulling but one of these would have made life a lot easier.

I bought one of these and I’m towing a 13 stone bloke up hill with ease when both peddling together well worth the money!!!

I use a Towwhee with my kids, brilliant bit of kit

If they've been good, he even lets them go on their bikes.

Works on grownups too @Zimmerframe , so if your ever over in the Surrey Alps you can get a lift
