Winter bike / Snow bike thread

Don't agree with that personally. I used mine for all my regular XC stuff in Scotland and it never felt any slower than my other bikes, and i never had any trouble keeping up with my riding buddy either, even on the climbs.

Could be the fact that it was my first foray in fatbiking, it was brilliantly easy and confident-inspiring to ride off road, and the fact it's a SS with an unusually high GI make it a bit of a bitch at the slightest incline.

after the two hours ride with the Surly, it's defintely felt like an go-anywhere bicycle, rather than a snow/sand only bicycle, if I had fun with the Pugsley in singlespeed, then the geared version going to be brilliant.

I had the tyres pressure at 6-9psi (give or take), so tarmac wasn't on my mind when I test rode it, I want to see how it handle off the beaten path, the road I know will be fine when pumped to a rock solid 20psi.
