Fat Bike

This looks rather good, look forward to seeing it built

All parts now being ordered

Hope to have a complete bike next week.

My brakes arrived today so I already have one. So I win.

Well my brakes are in Plymouth, and my bike is in Norway. But I own all the bits.......

Lee, hmm. Which bunch of idiots will be fucking up the delivery for you? And will Norwegian customs sit on any parts? Did the grips actually go in the post, or are you holding on to them until the brakes are installed?

Neil, what size headset? I need a 44mm 1 1/8" for the frame.

Piss. Grips are in the post. I missed a trick there.

I'm off to England in a few weeks. So couldnt justify the extra £40/50 having them sent here. Also have some PDW mudguards on the way too.

victory will be mine!

I've spent an embaressingly long time sat on it in the workroom.

Resisting the urge to wack my hope Mini pros on it.

Might do that tommorrow.

Ha.

Fat bikes for the win!

James in non Ti shocker

if i like the 907 then one day

to be fair, i reckon 4 inches of tyre will make the frame material inconsequential

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.

no nerg was given, it was metaphorical rather than actual

Nerged for being a tease.

^ Nerged for cryi.... Oh never mind.

DJ nerged again for completing his current projects far too quickly!

Bollocks

It appears there is only one surly marge lite rim in Europe, at sideways cycles. I can't fucking wheelie so everything is now on hold.

Winning.

Just build it up with a 24" front wheel.... Fat and low pro.

Dredge. Was this ever resolved, James?

If so, do you find many occasions to ride it?

it is being used once or twice a week as a trail bike

last weekend we took our fatbikes to west wittering beach to ride on sand dunes

a few weeks ago we went off with some fat bikers from ukfatbikes.co.uk to Barmouth, we went up pont scethin 2500ft of climbing and the descent on the other side

so much fucking fun

husker du tyres?
I thought they were a band.

Really want some HD style tyres. I'm thinking Knard, Vee8, or HD. Its taking too long for the snow to arrive, and I want to ride some fat.
