Winter bike / Snow bike thread

, I somewhat don't think it's possible to build a 29ers with the offset of the Pugsley, I can change the fork for a normal 100mm spacing one but the rear is a bit tricky.

What sort of rims are you looking at?

I've gone with 80mm. Doesnt give quite as much awesome snow float as the 100mm rims with a 4.7" tyre, and is'nt quite as muddy trail friendly, as a 65mm one, with a 3.7" tyre. But does a pretty good job of both. I love the idea of some 3.7" (black floyds) slicks for gravel path touring.

If you're going with a 65mm large marge. You can chuck Hookworms on for faster riding (see pic), and still get a great profile with a mud tyre like a Nate, or a Husker Du. I'm pretty sure people are running their Black floyds at twice the PSI of the other fat tyres, for road riding. So I guess they feel a fair bit different.

I dont see why people dont want full time fat myself.

Also. I get the impression the 2.5" -> 3.5" market will not be so sparse for long............
