Are the tyres wider than the bars?!

It was over when this hit the shops

that's the one! needs 'deal with it' gif made:

Excellent observation über_grüber, goes to show what you can do with a shit frame.

Suddenly tempted...

Are the tyres wider than the bars?!

They were my 2010-2011 polo bars. Current polo bars are wider, 31.8mm clamp and carbon fibre.

A quick Google reveals the weight - 47lbs

I have owned lighter cars.

Nearly 49lbs according to this.

Bikemag's running their April Fools' story in mid-month has clearly taken some of you in.

I have an On-One Fatty :-D

I can't ride it home from work :-(

Fitted an old SIS rear mech as a better tensioner and some flat 1-piece rotors. Didn't have time to set up the rear BB5 properly but I should at least be able to ride to the train station.

Freehub turns fine when the wheel isn't in the frame. The cassette isn't touching the frame and the lockring seems to have a consistent gap around the axle. I understand these hubs use cartridge bearings, so maybe the casing's failed.

Adam Craig, complete with Pro Team apparel:

Front brake only?

rear coaster

Yeah just spotted that. Aftermarket Paul canti added for the race by the looks of things.

Anyone got a pressure gauge they're happy with?

Current candidates are:
Oxford 15psi or 60psi dial gauge
Topeak digital
SKS Airchecker

US forums seem to agree on the Meiser "AccuGage" 30psi dial gauge being good, but my googlefu finds no UK retailers who stock it.

Charlie doesn't have any products on his website matching "gauge".

Where does one source the cheapest fatbike hubset? Novatec makes the Specialized-branded ones, but I can't seem to find them anywhere?

if you ever feel too hot..have a ride

Not THAT fat, 3", but TITANIUM HOARSE from Turku

Ooh, a Ti Krampus

Carbon rimz anyone?

Currently on holiday in Iceland, but could not bring our bikes with us. :-(

Oh my shit. If only I had any reason (space) to still have a fat bike:
