Fat is alive here in the Midwest.
Infact my Orange has sat in the house and the fat has done more miles over the summer. Now there is snow it’s fat all the way.
Makes dull trails interesting and passing over invested Americans fun.
Cant see myself wanting to bring it back and ride it in the peaks though.
SHORT BLOCKS meaning they ARE a narrow tyre.
I dont think the name has anything to do with their width. They make them all the way from CX legal sizes to 2.3.
And isn't particularly narrow compared to what most riders had on sunday which were an assortment of CX treads, which tend to sink meaning the riders have to push a bow wave of mud with them as well as being slower over uneven surfaces.
The reason I actually picked SB8's as an example is theyre shit for rolling resitance, hence a Jumbo Jim matches them (a racing ralph has almost half the rolling resistance). Which proves the point that there's more to a draggy tyre than its width.
OK – new UK Fatbike forum is up and running.
Sorry to those that were looking forward to a resurrection of the previous one and all its content – that’s just not going to happen. That means that we are starting from scratch.

Thanks should go to that whitestone fella!
And it's Small Block. Since when does the size of the tread affect the volume of a tyre?
theyre shit for rolling resistance
They sound cool on tarmac, though!

Especially when combined with the whimper from the roadie you've just overtaken... (I've been on both sides of this...)

Has your Mukluk been dispatched yet? I'm assuming you bought it on Monday?

Not yet. Saying it's "in picking" at the minute.
Ordered 22:59 on Monday. To be fair I think they say a couple of days for full bikes to be sent out.
Ha mine was 23.51 I guess I'm one behind you in the queue!
Just ordered some fatbike adapters for my Thule bike carrier as I suddenly realised I wouldn't get it home otherwise....
