My 17" complete Mukluk weighs 37lbs unloaded

The rear wheel (geared) weighs 9.5lb's on it's own.

It was 52lbs last Friday with 3 full bottles of water, food, camera, spare's and stuff

Are these draggy to ride with the fat/wide/sand combo going on?

@John, what cranks are these? And what bottom bracket?
@epicyclo, with 700x28 tyres on light wheels, will it go down to some 32 lbs?

Most of the weight in a fatbike is because of the wheels.

I can't find my tyre weights, but they are substantial.

I see no reason why a Pug set up as a 29er shouldn't be more or less the same weight as any other steel 29er.

my wheels are 12 lbs alone for the pair - with tires and tubes !

only thing is - despite being lighter it will ride like a dog on 29ers - angles are bananas to stop plowing on corners.

I can see it used as a tool to get me out of the house. Miles of sand, few people around, no mobile phone reception. Idyllic!
