Fat Bikes / Fatbikes

Bit like the 96ers in some respect.

It's more of a way to get some fatness without spending money really.

get some fatness without spending money.

For the 100 quid it would cost to go fat front, there's no reason not too. Can your rear take a 2.5? Front 3 and rear 2.5 is a pretty good compromise for minimal spending, no?

Put my 2.5'' tyre on the rear the other day and no, it doesn't really fit but current frame is only temporary. I fancy one of the superraw On One Scandals, think they can fit a 2.5'' tyre in the rear.

Fat front is nearer £130ish once you factor in spokes, rim tape and a tyre.

What 2.5" tyres you using?

Some WTB thing, Wolverine/Weirwolf.

Light?

Nope

Maxxis 29x3 look interesting, pleased with the 2.4 Ardents I'm running at the moment but still tempted to fat-front...
