Re: Any fat bikers in the group?
Bro suspension drives me crazy when I am trying to hit jumps. I don't have a lock out on SID's so they just compress instead.

Re: Any fat bikers in the group?
I rode rigid from 83 to 94 but was younger and stronger then. That said, I also remember having to be more focused on picking my line to get through the technical spot where with a full suspension I can just ride over the obstacles and the 4.5” tires on 26” wheels comes close to that too, just not sure how a 2.8” 29er will compare.

For any New England riders that are interested, Fatty Fest 2018 is at Gunstock on Super Bowl Sunday (9-1). I went last yr at Waterville Valley and despite 5° and 25-35mph winds, it was a great time. Lots of 45NRTH swag handed out. Info at fatbikenh.com

Re: Any fat bikers in the group?
Slow-Mo fat biking today in fresh but heavy snow - unusual for this time of year.
There were a few places where the cross country skiers had put in fresh tracks that were off the underlying packed trail and that made for some good comedy.
But we found a few fast sections too.
Overall a great workout and a good day.

I rode a pedal assist 2wd fat bike today (motors in front and rear hubs). Pretty amazing ride despite crap tires. Overall a fun day at Gunstock Mt.

Re: Any fat bikers in the group?
Got out for another fat bike ride today in between the high winds. Gorgeous day to play outside and while fat biking is slow, man it pumps the heart!
Re: Any fat bikers in the group?
I did a winter season up in north western Ontario Canada on one. Never again. -55C is just a bit much to handle. I'll stick to summer road riding and zwift in the winter.
Re: Any fat bikers in the group?
It’s that time of year again north of the equator.
Did a 5 mile / 55 min ride on the fat bikes at 9,000 ft amsl today. It was 21F and breezy so we didn’t stop much.

Re: Any fat bikers in the group?
I did a 17mi ride with a bunch of guys yesterday at 66' above sea level. It was 50° and sloppy as hell. Some of the flooded sections of trail had ice under the water, which made things fun for all but the guy running studs

Sounds nasty four20. Ice is treacherous on a bike!
We got in our first ski day of the season and miraculously my legs seemed to remember what to do.

Re: Any fat bikers in the group?
On the fat and bike theme...what do fat women and mopeds have in common?
They’re both fun to ride you just don’t want your friends to see you.

Do have an Ice Cream Truck? I almost bought one but the Beargrease fit me better.justsellbrgs wrote:no snow in Cleveland, but I have the Surly packed up and ready for a ride..... gonna JetBoil some coffee about half way ... ride safe - Happy Holidays..
(Yeah, the non-fat bikers will be along shortly to have fun with that)

THE Small frame fit me best and I really liked the versatility the WED offers..... I'm running it with Moloko bars, and switched back to the stock Nate's.
