   Why Why Why is it that I really want a fatbike. Moonlander would be great, but why?

   It probably* will be crap at everything I ride, but still it looks like fun. And it's not as if I'm a bloody fad magnet!

   anyone? anyone?.....

   (*justification to self for not having one)

   You may be surprised. When I got mine I expected to be limited to flat snow conditions, but it just goes anywhere. Think tractor

   You'll also be pleasantly surprised at the levels of grip on fast descents - I'm now descending faster than I used to, and my 29ers are gathering dust.

    Some chappy was rocketing up Glentress the other day when I was there, and rocketing down it too on one. Looked pretty nuts but I can't help but think those tyres must be horrible to rotate up to speed.

    not sure about the 'collander as light' thing but he seems to have got the fat tyre look off to a 't'.

    I find it impossible to ride mine without it bringing a big smile to my face.

    They're just so much fun.
    The only downside for me is if i stop somewhere on it. Then it gets on my tit's having to answer the same questions every five minutes.
    If we do a mid ride pubstop now I just claim it belongs to someone else and i know nothing about it.

    I was going to get a 29er, but keep looking at the Mukluk. I need to win the lottery so I can buy both.

    May have to give Charlie a bell to see if he's got any coming in? Shame he's just been banned from here otherwise I'm sure he'd let us know.
