Right now, nearly every trail is closed except the fat bike trails.
They aren't called fat bike trails for nothing.  Attached FilePoor sons of bitches. Looks like they spent more time walking than riding

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By PrincipsPistol: Oh snap!!! New Mutz and a Wren? Sweet! I'm really excited to play with that fork. the ability to tune it is pretty impressive. I should be able to get a pretty good match to the rear suspension compression rate so the bike feels really balaned. ordered wheels this morning. If there was one thing I wish Foes would do was have built it in 197 rear rather than 177. It really limited my choices, and I nearly ordered everything to build my own wheels but there's more to that then the rest of the bike (factoring spoke length, then finding enough of the same spokes was giving me anxiety). Boreales has carbon heds with 177 rear hubs. Tires have to come from r-2 bike in Germany. seems no one else has 4.4 JJ's. or I use the ones off my other bike  |

Few rides in on the foes.
 Attached FileWhat a bike. Super smooth, the coil really sucks up the small stuff and feels great on the g outs. The fork is fantastic. The air chamber tuning makes it very predictable but still need to get the dampening just right. Think I might play with a progressive coil spring though, I have to lock it on climbs or I just bounce away all my energy The dvo coil does lock up well. |

Fat bikes have their place but i hope they die a retail death. Of course I also hate 29ers.

Have you even ridden a modern fatbike? They're a blast and truly are a go anywhere bikes. If I could only have one bike, it would be a fat bike. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By AgeOne: If I could only have one bike, it would be a fat bike. If you are riding a mix of pavement and dirt, a fatty is probably not for you. If you just ride dirt, be it rocky, sandy, snowy, loose, hard pack do yourself a favor and try one. There's a reason dirt bikes and 4WDs go wide and air down. |

Anybody know why Surly disco'd the Moonlander? It was the fastest fatbike in their lineup....too much of a good thing maybe? I know several with the Ice Cream Truck and they love them. They tell me it's the gold standard of fatties.

I don't think the ice cream truck is anywhere near the top anymore.
Didn't they weigh like 40+lbs. There are several great bikes depending on your riding style. I ride with a large group of fatbikers no one has a surly. |

First snow ride of the season. Also first ride on a fatty in a while. Draggy, crusty, super high friction day old refrozen snow and ice. It was still a nice day for an after work quickie.

Xmas to myself.
 Attached File150/177mm i9 hubs. Hens teeth. They're doing a 150/197 run currently but I doubt 177 will ever be made again. They've been laced up, but I don't think they were ever ridden. Too clean doesn't look like rotors were ever bolted on. |

If your missing the fat, framed is blowing out carbon frames right now, Alaskan frame and bluto for $800. I'm helping my buddy build one for his wife, super light. Will probably be around 27lbs done. We got a bit of snow on weds that made the dirt hero level yesterday. It was cloudy but like 50f. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By HawkCreek: My wife XS Wednesday and my XL ICT after our first ride with them last weekend. https://i.imgur.com/THbPH8U.jpeg Fat bikes are overkill for how I ride, but if I was in the market for a new, off-the-shelf bike, it would be a Surly Bridge Club in 27.5 (the fatter tire version). My Karate Monkey frameset is in the other room and I've thought about building it back up with 27.5 and still might do so, if my riding plans this summer go well. |

Waiting for replacement wheel for my foes. If i ever come across a "lefty for all" kit im going to buy it and use the fork to build a super light carbon single speed fatty. Very under-rated fork. Smooth and consistent. I just wish it had more travel. Your custom old school fatty was awesome. |

Nice to have another wheelset always ready with studs now, though I sorta think I want a 5" studded tire... Which means I'll need another wheelset.
