too fat to get through the machinary?
Didn't epicyclo say something about his the other day?
I bought Cynical's 9:Zero:7 frame, stripped down my Pug, and built this:

Nothing wrong with the Pug - I just need my bike to be lighter for lifting over deer fences. (I'd happily recommend a Pug to anyone. You don't notice the weight unless you have to lift it.)
How you getting on with it? Is it a lot lighter than the pugsley then? I too have a lot of hike a bike sections, so looks like i made a good choice!
Epicyclo What's the mud guard on there please?
After one for the front and back of the Mukluk, anyideas of shops to get them from?
Sorry for the hijack.
The bike in the above picture is the coolest thing I've seen in ages. I want one.
No Prob john, saves me from asking!
It's only lighter than the frame weight difference at the moment, but I have other mods to make, eg I'm building lighter wheels this weekend.
The mudguard is from a trials motorbike. I modified it with a heat gun so it fitted between the fork legs and made up the stays from some alloy tube. I made a matching rear too, but it needs further mods to fit the 9:Zero:7 compared to the Pug. Seeing as fat wheels chuck up prodigious amounts of muck, good mudguards are worthwhile.

Get them from [url= http://www.tytrials.co.uk/trailandtrialsuk/prod_137209-Universal-Trials-Fender-Mudguard-Rear.html ]TYTrials.co.uk[/url]
I ride with someone who has a mukluk and whilst I do 'get' the principal of these bikes I don't get the mudguards off either of them above. It looks like they were stolen off someone's car...

Not many fashion victims ride fatbikes 🙂
If you have a fatbike, you're going to be riding it through glop that would stop a trail centre style bike. Lots of the glop gets chucked up in the air at face level in front of you.
I suppose it all depends how much dog/bovine exhaust or peatbog you care to ingest.

Bit late now if they are a pile of poo 8)
They certainly look the part. 🙂
