Is a road bike strong enough to pull 100 pound of gear in a trailer?

Question

i know that a mtb has no problem pulling a trailer with 100 pounds it bulit heavy but a road bike I was thinking is bulit light for speed so dose a road bike have what it takes to pull 100 pounds in a trailer

Answer 1

the question is are you strong enough

Answer 2

It probably wouldn't hurt the bike, but I'd be really concerned about being able to stop it on a hill.  That much extra load could push you out into traffic, or off the road.

Answer 3

If the weight is properly distributed over the wheels of the trailer then it should have no problems. You might have problems with your brakes though if you encounter any steep hills.

Answer 4

you are the motor. the bike is strong enough to handle the load.
