@ Roverpig – are you still considering the ICT or would you look at a Wednesday?
To be honest, when it comes to fatbikes, it’s all up in the air at the moment. I rode the ICT and liked it, so that has to count for something. Maybe it should be all that matters, but I’ve not ridden any other fatbikes, so I’m not sure I could really rule anything out.
I have just sold the Solaris frame and chubby wheels on the grounds that, while great, the chubby Solaris wasn’t really different enough to my other trail bike(s) to justify keeping. So, if I do go down the fatbike route I’m tempted to go the whole hog i.e. fully rigid with 5″ tyres, which I think rules out the Wednesday.
I do keep reading threads from 5″ fatbike riders who are switching to 4″ (or even plus size) for the summer though, so I’m wondering whether I should just park the whole fatbike project until the end of the summer (if we ever get one). That ICT sure was fun though and not a drop of snow on that test ride.
