Hi all, running a tubed 26" x 4" and trying to figure out the best tire solution for what I need. I live in the Florida panhandle with super fine sand. I like biking the beach and need 5~10 psi to get anywhere. I haven't had a pinch flat yet, but the worry is there.

I was wanting to go tubeless but my tires don't support it. I was thinking instead of getting either Mr. Tuffy or Tannus Armor. What should I do? Thank!

I'm curious about sloshing around in the Canadian winters and thinking about getting my first fat bike. I literally know nothing about fat bikes other than they are heavy and low tire PSI.

I'm looking at buying a Northrock XC00 Fat Tire Bike (used) for 200 CAD. What are the things I'm not thinking about?

Question in the title. I work with a nascent group supporting the local rail trail and it occurred to me that grooming it for fat biking and XC skiing is something we could do pretty easily for the community. We've got snowmobiles and ATVs amongst our members I'm sure and could raise a few thousand for a machine. (And we'd be sure to rent/borrow for a season to try it before we invested in our own, in case folks just trash it.)

But the path is paved. Can you run any of the lighter trail grooming machines over pavement if you've got a few inches?

I'm totally unfamiliar with the trail grooming machines besides googling today and failing to find an answer to this specific question, so I appreciate the help and apologize for my ignorance. Here to learn. Thanks!

Six more weeks of winter!

Today's ride felt like the bike was floating. The groomed trails with a dusting of snow were near perfect.

Hello, I have a problem with unlocking the speed in Ouxi H9, the YT guides do not work. I can't open the option to enter the password, please help.

New bike and new to fat biking in general. My first few rides on the Beargrease have been a blast! If you have any pointers, tips, or tricks—or things you wish you knew at the beginning—please share! I’d love to hear them.

Looking for a fat tire bike I have a 500$ limit (I know not much fat tire bike you can get for that price) i see I few bike that caught my eye into mongoose dolomite vs the mongoose malus which one would be a better bike In general they look very similar any advice helps thanks

Typical Michigan winter, warm one day and freezing the next turns trails into icy treachery.

Just another day in the mountains…

Just gauging what's popular.

Hey everyone! I am planning on getting a new bike and would like a fat tire at a larger frame and a little higher weight as well.

Looking for something affordable with great reviews. It’s kinda hard to find reliable reviews for this online! Thank you!

Ordered my first fat bike yesterday, a Trek Farley 5 size L. Am curious about any recommendations (different handlebars maybe?) for adjusting the bike fit to my sizing/skill - I've never felt comfortable on a mountain bike before. I test rode an in stock size M Farley, and I felt a bit cramped. If the size L does not fit well, I can refund the order, but am hoping it works out. I'm not expecting any profound answers/recommendations from this sub, just posting the question out of curiosity.

My specs: I'm 5'10" with short legs / long torso syndrome, over 50 years old, and a very low skilled mountain biker. I almost entirely ride gravel (currently riding a Lauf Seigla) at speeds between mid pack and party pace.

Bike use: I'll initially use the Farley for flowy trails, then eventually do some winter riding. My town has an excellent community of mellow mountain bikers, I'm hoping the fat tires help improve my confidence on the trails.

Cost is less for the wren and personally I like to look of it. I'm a big guy at 290lbs and it's beefy stanchions seem like that would be better for me. There's some negativity around them but much of that seems to be from several years ago. I'm mostly using my fat bike for long gravel type riding and riding in snow but the reason I'm interested in a fork is because I may also use it for some singletrack during the spring and maybe when summer. I think I'd like a suspension for for those occasions. Most people have good things to say about the Mastodon but it's like $200 more. Thoughts?
