Yes and no.
I've never really been into this vertically compliant bollocks. Build em stiff, and get a good fit and contact point set-up. But I've always said my Spot Brand combines drive stiffness with a slight compliance when throwing it into tight lumpy turns at speed. As the fat bike has more traction, as well as more tyre cush, its possible this remains true.
Having said that. I made several attempts to buy a alu frame before giving up and going Ti. Believe it or not it cost the same as having a Mukluk posted.
PS. You're a cnut for nerging me. I could'nt find a 203mm adaptor this morning, and deciding riding around on my carbide studded tyres is a bad idea anyway.
