Well, that’s bollocks for a start

What do you reckon on them?

Sandman gobi rolling on 100mm here . Getting 9 gears at the moment was ss last winter

Yes I have one

9zero7, import from Alaska, running 80mm rims, 2×9 spec’ed for beach riding, 12/36 on rear

Fast becoming my favourite bike out of the 5 I own. Great fun bike to have, comfortable & goes everywhere from bog to beach.

4 years of riding a pugsley on Scottish coasts here; coastrider

Theres a cross over group of fatbike owners and regular xc riders on here though you may want to check in on the stateside MTBR fatbike forum…

i was told on here it was a fad and they will never catch on… 😉

fatbikes look ace.

Do you get a lot of drag with the bigger tyres? (serious question)

coastkid can often be seen in drag.

Yes but it’s not as bad as you might think, the tyre carcasses are light.

Ace fun 😀

fatbike does northshore …. was a little dissapointed as it snowed all day the next day but we went skiing instead !

Where’s that TR?

Aye, but switched to mini skirts as the dresses were catching on those big tyres 😉 😀

Serious question – would there be interest in hiring fatbikes if they were available?
Been thinking of taking a few more over for touring holiday rentals in Scotland, but not sure if there is the market for it?

I use my Pugsley for just about everything, sand, snow, moorland, bogs, city, singletrack. Havn’t enjoyed myself as much since I was a kid!

I know Charlie the bike monger has a demo Pugsley down south in Swanage, think there might only be one or two other demo bikes elsewhere in the UK.

Look loads of fun, it’s just getting to try one out first as they are a bit specialist on the wheels, although nothing to stop you running normal 26″ wheels or skinny 700c/29er tyres. Still lurking in the back of my mind that i should have got a pug over the Karate Monkey, maybe i can blag a go on one at SSUK 😀

theres more around than you think

heres my pugs

There’s quite a few of us rollin on fattyres.

now with jones loop bars which have improved the front end sooooooooo much
running 3x 9 at the moment but may try it 1 x 9 on 70mm uma rims

it maybe slow at times, but the grin factor at other times is worth it

I’m going semi skimmed imminently

Me too, I built this today! Been let down by Triton cycles taking my order for a Larry tyre then not bothering to tell me they’re not in stock until Dec!!! When all the other parts arrived today, Charlie the Bikemonger to the rescue, tyre arrives tomorrow.
