Is there data anywhere on what sort of % gradients i should be able to tackle with what sort of loads.
I used a Bosch cx to lug a 30kg trailer up perhaps 20% at the weeknd and I felt it perhaps struggled. But maybe it was due to gearing on the bike. 40x40 smallest I think.
I have a weird use case of my house being up a steep hill and no car access. But I need to lug lots of stuff up, building materials. I think the first option is to get a bigerg trailer and see what the Bosch cx can carry. I was using a burley flatbed, which is too small. Or ok size if weight for towing will be cira 40kg.
I post this here rather than trailer thread as I think the response will be better.
@Emyr I saw your bike and trailer, maybe you have experience?
