Wasn't going to spend any more cash on bike parts this month, but a pair of Challenge starda tubs for £52 was too good to pass on.
Ta for the PSA
Which fat wheels do people recommend?
Dt2250 can't find in stock anywhere..
Ordered a fatty (non trail) with carbon fork last night. £650 seems an absolute bargain! Still got to sell my FS 29er tho to fund it.
Could not resist the 35% off a mini Fatty for my Grandsons birthday in April

It's arrived!
Got to say that in the flesh the grey is a lot nicer than I thought it was going to be, the photos don't do it justice and I was mentally budgeting for a respray so if it wasn't good I'd say so!
Hovering over the buy button - does the trail version have to have a Bluto or will it handle ok with a rigid fork for a bit? Cant find a comparison of fork lengths
Back of an envelope calc but the head angle should be the same on the fatty and trail with the same fork, it's just the trail is 'designed' to be 20mm taller and a degree slacker. I'm planning on building mine up with the fatty bits until my jobs a bit more secure and I've got the money for a bluto and new wheel.
Hmmm, bit late to this one but now slighty tempted by a parkwood frame...
Quick someone talk me out of it, tell me it'll be cheaper at some point...
They always seem to do something like this at least once a year. Last year it was the "staff discount" codes at Christmas (and the fatty was 20% off already) which made it pretty much the same price as it is today.
Depends if you can wait another year?
Could anyone advise of the headset spec for the fatty trail? The website spec looks a bit vague. Was going to wait and measure the frame but Yodel have taken over a week up to now!
That Mini Fatty is awesome. Creepy crawlers on a kids bike though, does that work? I have those on my Bird and it rolls like a brick, you can feel the drag just turning the bars never mind riding it.
