Crapjumper I love it. My other bikes an On one codeine, rode full sus for a while but this climbs great and decents great. Nice slack head angle with wide bars, feels great. Did an 18 mile loop round the peaks on Sunday and was in the front pack all the way round. Think the tyre pressures where a little low for the rocky descents. It’s great without the Blutos IMO, just get loose and let th fat tyres do their work on the descents!
@samcuk87 – I’m still surprised just how well the on-one does climb
I went a rather step slippy slope wet rock leaves etc this weekend and got a “fair play on going up that ” by a dog walker who must have been watching me…
2500ft of climbing at the weekend, cleared some climbs I never had before. I’m 2×10 but with no front mech, just flick it down to the 26r granny for the big technical climbs then back on the wide narrow for the descents!
Matt black powdercoat on the on-one to match the carbon forks. With a trikstuff excentriker to run propper ss. Also has prototype goldtec fat hubs on it. They are white bros snowpack forks on the necro pug.
The black on one looks about a gazillion times better than the gash white and orange one or I have seem a gloss black with a matte fork which looked poo as well, imho
I built my with used parts except for a new Alfine hub. I really like it, lowest low gear is still a bit high though. I’m keen to try some bike packing on it too.
are you running tubeless? I was just getting into the ‘get loose and pinball’ style of descending in the peaks, lasted 30 seconds and blew the back tyre off the rim. That was running lightweight tubes, so they are a definite no no for anything rough, especially far from home.
Edit: Have one fitted to my 29er Turner Sultan and it works really well. Think I might try this on my Mukluk. I bought a PDW rear, but it looks way too flimsy to last i’m afraid 🙁
Bagstard. I tried tubeless, blew up fine, seemed to seal well. Came to it the next morning and they’d gone totally flat. Not tried it again since. I used the foam down the middle of the rim to pack it out then gorilla tape over the top method. Also, anyone who’s running on one fatty wheels have a problem with the tyre sliding down making it look buckled when you drop the pressure below 15psi? Tried the floaters and the vee mission and it still does it.
I have come to the conclusion that the majority of fatbike owners have the colour coordination skills of a clown with a colour vision disorder. Just because riding a fat bike makes you feel like you’re 6 doesn’t mean you need to make it look like an 80’s abortion of clashing filth. All that’s missing is some spokey dokeys, a playing card in spokes and one of those yellow loud halers that used to make police siren noises and machinegun sounds. 😯
I reckon these folks are just making a personal statement to themselves, about themselves. It’s not for other folk to judge them based on appearances. A bit like tattoos really….
*applauds* but just like tattoos, you must expect every bugger to have an opinion and happily tell you to your face 😀
and there is no personal statement to be made with an awful looking bike, its like having a car and then strapping as much extra tat to it from halfords as possible and then putting fake exhausts and a powered by fairy dust sticker on it
I think people like me with Fat bikes just enjoy a bit of fun and not about looks or making a statement just enjoy being able to get over most things and the having fun….Still every one has there own opinion.
