This was the original build 3 months ago - now very dirty and with a dropper

bgrunes is that a beach in East sussex with a holiday camp
i used to live there until last year great dunes

Pimpmyride - stock 26x4 in the back that the charge came with, and a 26x2.7 DH tube in the front, which I carry for puncture repairs

Blows up easily with either

My 9:zero:7

Thanks mOrk, do you not find that the front wheel comes out the bead at all? Having issues getting mine to spin without jumping

I'm still loving mine, although what was supposed to be a budget rolling chassis and spares bin build has somewhat gone massively over budget!

It has been great fun to ride on dry dusty trails, but I'm hoping it will be even more fun with a bit of slop?!

Made a bit of a mess drilling out the front rim, hopefully the rear will be much better. Tomorrow I will attempt to inflate my tubeless conversion, gorilla tape and split tube, fingers crossed!

They're a bit scary in the glop - spent 6 hours thrashing around the mud in the Surrey Hills yesterday and scared the life out of myself - the slides are lurid to say the least

Bloody good fun though - but I fear it might end up in a big pile of blood, mud and tears 🙁

Gee - did you have to tie it to that tree to stop it floating away 😀

Here's my John Deere Fatty:

And here's my Moonlander in Switzerland (warning, poor quality and no soundtrack but you get the idea):

One one "Flatty" in the last pic... Need to remember it's not a 6" travel full sus as I'm sending it down the rocks!

Trout, what wheelset you using on the front for the Bluto's? I ordered the blutos only to realise they're 150mm axle so sent them back.

Nice on one flatty there Sam!

Tazzy - is that a black Fatty? Looks rad.

Just can't get stoked for the white version

Samcuk87 . How do you get on with the on one fatty ? I'm thinking of crossing over to the fat side and as a first fatty I think I'll go for that one . Thanks

Samcuk its a hope Fatsno 150mm hub and the on one fatty rim and spokes
IMHO the Bluto`s make a good bike great on the terrain mine gets used on
but would not be happy on the beach with em on a regular basis

Agreed with Trout on the blutos making a good bike great. I've kept my rigid fork for beaches and that sort of thing.

It's alaos true that that Beargrease is faster than my normal bikes on the Surrey Hills. Set my fastest times on a lot of trails on that a couple of weeks ago, and it's not like I wasn't trying on the skinny bikes.

Crapjumper I love it. My other bikes an On one codeine, rode full sus for a while but this climbs great and decents great. Nice slack head angle with wide bars, feels great. Did an 18 mile loop round the peaks on Sunday and was in the front pack all the way round. Think the tyre pressures where a little low for the rocky descents. It's great without the Blutos IMO, just get loose and let th fat tyres do their work on the descents!

[url= ]Onza Unit[/url]looks good for an intro to fatbike. Think they're hoping to sell for £749.99

@samcuk87 - I'm still surprised just how well the on-one does climb

I went a rather step slippy slope wet rock leaves etc this weekend and got a "fair play on going up that " by a dog walker who must have been watching me...

Mines 1x10 with a hope extender.

2500ft of climbing at the weekend, cleared some climbs I never had before. I'm 2x10 but with no front mech, just flick it down to the 26r granny for the big technical climbs then back on the wide narrow for the descents!
