Turbo Creo with a trailer?

[Apline87]

Anyone with a Creo tow a trailer? Thoughts on the difference between the AL and Carbon frames if using a thru axel adapter?

I recognize it isn't an ideal choice, but I'm gunning for a creo and want to make it work when I have my toddler with me. I currently tow him in a Thue Chariot via a steel frame Surly but want something new so we can go further and up hills. I also want something that I can have fun with when I'm solo. Maybe I'm better off with two bikes, but that's hard to justify to my other half!

Thanks!

I'm not an expert in trailers, but I think this is not a question of the Creo/an e-bike or alloy or carbon. More of a light bike/frame like a race bike vs. a standard bike with a much stronger heavier frame.
afaik towing is not the problem, but braking. I know serveral people which folded up the frame of their race bike with their kid in the trailer behind when they did an emergeny stop for a car or a pedestrian. I would stay out of it for any Creo.

Buy an AL frame creo and with the difference you save from buying a carbon creo buy yourself a cheap electric bike for the trailer to tow your youngster, win win situation.
