    BlankI'm considering a B.O.B Yak trailer. Having a RANS V2xL which uses a 20" front, I thinking of
    modifying the existing 16" wheel dropouts on the BOB to accept a 20" wheel and tire. Has anyone done
    that? That way on tour, I'll only need to deal with 2 sizes.

    You'd need to extend the rear stays of the BoB by a couple of inches somehow. I thought it would be
    nice to fit a 369 Moulton wheel to mine for the same reasons, but there was no way it would fit even
    without the mudguard, chiz.

    I built a BOB style trailer with suspension and a 20" rear wheel. Very easy to do.
