Looking forward to it snowing here ๐
Aha, a fat bike in it's own habitat!
How was it Woody?
1st impressions are good even though the snow is not really deep enough to tell. TBH it didn't feel very much different to riding a 'normal' rigid bike other than it was a lot more comfy at the front end and seems to roll over everything, including snow covered heather!
I was a bit eager to get out and riding fixed with no brakes was probably not ideal but it was [i]interesting[/i] ๐
A proper 'full fat' bike would be brilliant but I'm going to swap some bits tonight and make do with what I've got......................for now !
awesome thread, best in ages. Woody - is that a Kona Stuff? I sold one on here yonks ago just like it.
Around this time in '08, up Allermuir in the Pentlands - can sometimes get great views of inversions up there -
