In case anyone was wondering the fat tire kit for Burley trailers works pretty good in unpacked snow, just feels like you are climbing no mater what.

Struggling to find any post-2019 ice cream trucks for sale! Anyone got one they are thinking about unloading?

Looking to get my first fat bike for this winter and I am completely torn between the two. Appreciate any thoughts or experiences you may have had with these.

As I get used to my new to me Wednesday, I found a way to repurpose our seat for our 4yr old. She's under the weight limit for the rack, it's bolted on, and most importantly she loves it. Always happy to take her with me on rides.

I just started using clipless this year on my summer bike and really enjoy it and prefer it. This is mainly on roads and gravel and not too experienced “off road” with them however.

But… Do I want to do this in the winter?

I see the benefits on trail and slugging through snow to help keep a better cadence as I am a pedal masher previous to going clipless. But is this going to be a death trap in the end?

I need new boots badly this year and wondering if I should fork over the cash for the Wolfgar and call it a day or stick with flats and just get a good winter boot.

What say you? Did you try it and go back to flats? Stick with flats the whole time? Try it and loved it and never went back?

I recently grabbed this for $150 on marketplace, i fully understand this isn't the best bike ever made, but I've committed to entry level- if you believe in all your heart i have goofed super big time Venmo me the couple grand and I'll get the bike you recommend lmao.

I plan on upgrading things, but really don't want to bury myself in it. I'm not a tinkerer by nature & work quite a bit so simple quick upgrades serve me best. ●I need bars NOW. I split the stock bars within the first 2 hours of riding it. If I'm there is it worth it to upgrade the fork to suspension? ●The brakes are trash, so a quick upgrade there would be nice, but not vital. Can I adjust those? ●The shifter is hilarious. A twist shift in 2024? Why? .....What do I do there

Any other easy moves to make? Thanks!

Frame gallery at Agave Finishworks.

Meriwether Cycles built me a titanium, full custom geometry, long tail, fat bike. It is built around 27.5" x 4.5" tires on wide rims (89mm internal). The geometry is a built around that wheel set, the Salsa Blackborow long tail, my fit numbers, and some particular details I wanted. The head tube is log and the top tube is pretty high to maximize frame bag space. The chain stays are 640mm long and there is 80mm of bottom bracket drop. The reach is 420mm and the stack is 666mm. Meriwether Cycles also built a lightweight, custom, steel rack for the rack to hold a huge dry bag with my sleeping kit.

The custom graphics were drawn by Bicycle Pubes and laid out on the frame by Agave Finishworks. Agave Finishworks bead blasted the frame and anodized the graphics.

The rest of the build kit in my home shop, ready to go. The frame should be arriving this week.

Perfect amount of snow for some off trail alpine wandering, definitely need some pogies though!

Picked this up on a ride earlier this week. Took three plugs to fill it when I removed it. Shockingly, this is the first puncture that required a plug since I’ve had my fattie tubeless. Question: should I trim the remainder of the plugs sticking out or no? Does it matter?

I currently ride a 2017 Specialized Fatboy with 25x4.8 tires, xt groupset , xt brakes and was considering trying something more modern. I’ve seen some Blizzards on sale and was thinking buying a a10 and swapping my xt bits over. I took a 2023 a10 with 27.5s for a ride in a parking lot and was disappointed with the weight. It was difficult to wheelie and felt like an absolute tank compared to my Fatboy. Ive also seen a few 2022 a10s with the 26 inch wheels. My question is would the 2022 feel any lighter than the 23 and closer to my Fatboy?

I’m trying to find a budgety-level fat bike and these are competitively priced with stuff like Mongoose and Ascend.

Are these any better than big-box-store bikes?

I live in Alaska and will be competing in my first 100-mile fatbike race in February. The market for headlamps is quite overwhelming and I figured I'd ask users here what works for them in the field.

I'm specifically looking for a lamp that takes alkaline batteries, as I already own a Fenix rechargeable headlamp that will be taken as my backup light.

New bars and stem,forks seems to be moving now,hope I just didn’t tighten somthing correctly. If bearings are shot how do I go about buying a new set.What saddle do you guys use/ recommend and what brake lever do you guys use / recommend

Hello. I have a shot at a good deal on a Borealis Crestone. I'm about 2 hours from the location, and kind of on the fence about the frame size. The frame size is large, and I'm 5'10". On their website I'm right at the deviding line between large and medium. Any words of wisdom on this before I make a decision on driving that distance to find out it doesn't fit right? lol.

Just made some updates to my Moonlander V2, swapping out the 24x6.2 stock tires for Schwalbe Jumbo Jim 26x4.8s. These tires are among the best when it comes to rolling resistance, and they’ve made a noticeable difference. I also added Surly rims on both the front and back to complete the setup.

This will be my second century ride on a fat bike—the first was on a Surly Ice Cream Truck running 26x4.0 Schwalbe Jumbo Jims. Excited to see how the Moonlander holds up on the longer haul this time.

Brand and model. Looking for something that will hold up well with winter riding, and take a beating!

Thanks!

Hot do they ride in the snow? Got a 29er hard tale and I wanna put a fat bike fork from the shop I work at on it with a big ol tire in the front😂😂 Would be rediculously awesome and could be pitentially fun

I'm looking forward to my first winter fat biking experience and am curious if riders typically still wear chamois shorts under their winter layers, or if they skip them given the added insulation. I expect average temperatures around -15°C (5°F) in still air, though it can sometimes get twice as cold.
