Furrys MAMIB (middle aged man in baggies) bike

Its a whippet of a race machine............

That headset cover is fecking huge. I have a Box of smaller ones though.

I managed order the correct damper mount kit!

Apologies for the mud natch tyres. They were £8 each.

You're further ahead in the fork install than me. I've not even put the crown race on yet.

It's starting to look liek a biek.

Scenery looks good. More shots of that please

Looking at the gap above the tyre, it looks like the fork was made for a bigger wheel?

The slate is for both 26" and 650b.
Bit annoying.

But the A-C is right.

Bloody phone. Struggling with pics.

Oh very nice
You're going 1x9/10? Hows the rest of thembuild looking now?
Looks ready for some enduro racing to me nudge nudge

It'll be 1 x 11.

32 : 10-42

I'd quite like to go bigger at the back. But these big range 11 speed cassettes are mad Money. My cheapo dropper post is jammed. So might have to invest in a New one at some point. Was thinking of getting a X-fusion one as they seem to hit a real Nice quality-to-price ratio.

Just need a rear x12 axle, an 11 speed Chain, and 165mm cranks arms now.

Its getting my sexy Hope M4 brakes off the fatbike. I replace them With something cheaper. I thought the epic traction of the fatbike would require epic brakes. But I really dont move fast when snow biking.

Biek looks nice.

Also, moar background scenery pls.

The frame, fork, Wheels, and cockpit all look burly as feck.
Yet the bike actually feels pretty light so far.
Plus it only has 120mm of travel each end.
I find myself totally clueless as to how this is actually going to ride.

Thats just the veiw from my patio of Sunnmørsalpene. Which is where I do my road riding, and aparantly has a load of enduro type stuff going on. Need to invest in a car rack and get out there.

Usually looks like this though.....

Pfft. Looks OK I guess.

The more local Shorter Mountains have trails cut into them every 10 kms. Its nuts. Been using the fatbike to go exploring With a mate. Loads of possiblities. Although these are hiking trails. So you cant really smash it about. Further inland is where the proper AM stuff is. Sunnmørealpene was voted best am/Enduro/trail/or something - area in the national MTB mag.

Cant be any better riding up there, than riding in London surely.......

Have you got a better idea of the fit now?

Nope.

Need to take the seatpost clamp off my fatbike to hold my seatpost. Plus theres no rear axle. So i cant actually sit on it.

The front end looks high unsagged. Because the X-fusion fork fits both 650 and 26" Wheels to save Production costs. Its quite long. We're talking 10mm there though. I can drop 20mm by swapping the headset cover.

Need to buy an axle really.

I might be using my X-Fusion in 2017. How about you :-)
