Yes, it is rigid, and that is a *good* thing in certain scenarios. You have to be going at a fair rate to get the adrenalin flowing with 5+ inches of travel on demand, but the sh!t eating grin that is produced when you make a simple bike fly through a tight trail is attainable without going to a trail centre or the back country.
I think you've nailed it there DJ. Always like seeing your bikes - what front tyre rim combo is on the JJ above?
thanks!
its a hodag 27.5x3.8 (~90mm ish wide) on a nextie junglefox 2 45mm internal rim. the rear is the same rim, and an Ikon plus. its a great combo for this bike....though my eye is on the Minion FBF 27.5x3.8...
Hmm... thought it might be something a little exotic 🙂 Nice
A test ride (with an open mind) is [b]the[/b] recommended course of action for the Jones curious.
Happy to sort out all I can – I'm emailable. Enjoying the posts here – good conversation.
Anyone one using their Plus (Boost) for road rides/touring? On WTB Scrapers (45mm) I'm guessing not many road biased tyres. What is your other rim/hub combo and what tyres do you run?
Been running some Loop bars on my rigid fat bike for nearly 2 years - I actually don't have a problem climbing with them. Keeps my weight centred between the wheel and simply use body-weight to drive through the pedals so a bit less tiring on really long rides.
