Doing my best to get one in time!
He's given you just over a year 😉
Having tried my best to ignore these threads, while I was in Edinburgh yesterday afternoon I went for a quick "look" at the Dune in Go Outdoors.
Anyway..... it's now currently in my living room having had the cable disc brakes replaced this morning. Managed to get the 10% off as someone else had mentioned, as it was the last one and was on display. At £521, I've paid more for components before!
Northwind, Suggsey etc, that's 1 more commission for the STW Dune selling team 😉
I've had my felt fatty since March its been used on everything from trail centres to the beach ,I absolutely love the thing was starting to get a bit jaded with MTb till I got it now I get miserable if I can't get out on it Begun to think maybe some blutos and then my rarely used fs can go

Hadn't spotted that! 🙂
Hope it won't take that long!

Awesome, but all this big wheel action has been seeing me looking an awful lot at a Trek Stache 7. I think the bikes would overlap too much though.
@ Johnny boy I just demoed a stache after waiting weeks for it and that's my thought exactly. I have a oo fatty but just bought a salsa with the money for the stache. It doesn't help that I've already got a short chainstayed 29er either but the stache was neither here nor there for me.
My impressive stature calf muscles used to hit the seat stays on an old Alpinestars cro-mega I once owned, I'm worried that the OO Fatty frame will also hit my calves as it looks such a wide junction with the extra tyre clearance built in.
I don't have the opportunity to try before I buy and am hoping to bid on a set of the OO wheels on the bay ending in an hour... Need someone to put my mind at ease
my 'less than impressive' calf muscles don't catch the seat stays on my fatty, but they do catch on my mukluk.
use that information as you please 😕
Had my Caribou 12months now. I only really use it for dog walking and tag-alonging but it'll be ready for duty when the snows come. I had a go at ghetto tubelessing when I first got it but the Weinmann HL80's were not having it. Anyway was out today and got my first puncture so got to thinking it might be time to upgrade the rims and get something a bit better and tubeless friendly.
My limited fatbike knowledge naturally pointed me towards the on-one v2 wheelset which seems reasonable at £300. (Wouldn't wanna spend more than that tbh) anyone recommend these or have any better ideas? Ta
It takes me all the way back to the 80s and my first MTB experiences - it might not be the fastest but it's the most fun getting there
When dovebiker wrote this, this was the very escence of why I wanted a fatbike. A weekend riding a loaner Pug and now I own one. Totally loving it.
Jaffejoffer,
The Fatty V2 wheelset is the same as the V1 bar better hubs, I.e. The rims are still rubbish for tubeless, in fact my fatty arrived with the front tyre completely off the rim so they're rubbish with tubes too! I'd look at the Halo Tundra wheelsets from Crc, etc for similar money. They're drilled too. The on one El Guapo wheelsets might be better than the fatty ones.
cheers johnny. having done a bit of reading up the consensus is the tundras are not so great for converting to tubeless?
