No matter how fancy the Fresh Goods are this week they won’t be as cool as these Biggs and Wedge action figures.

Bring it on.

Pah. Very minor celebs, D- Harry.

They are niche.

Indeed, I refer you to my previous post.

..and can I just say I’ve still for my 1977/1978 Luke Skywalker 12″ figure in pride of place – er – somewhere on a shelf in my house? Never bettered IMO: – although granted it looks a little more naff than it did when I was 5.

the real fresh gods friday is up

and its just fatbikes, so please carry on with the star wars toy pics, far more interesting!

It may have escaped your notice that it’s Black Friday,

They appear to have put up next weeks Fresh Goods Friday so we’re still missing this weeks.

Hilarious!

Santa Cruz (coz they come up short)

Okay, so I’ve got no idea when Black Friday is. We all (in the office) thought it was today.

Bite me 😉

That would smart. Have you got anything a little smaller?

6fattie looks a lot of fun!

I blame Chainreaction. Every day is Black Friday according to them.

While I hate to agree with a nichemonger, I agree with the nichemonger…

I’m not sure about this plus bike thing. They look interesting but I had some pretty low pressure in my front tyre the other week and on a g out it folded over and threw me over the bars. What’s the point in massive tyres if you still need highish pressures so you can ride normally?

The wider rims mean they’re much more stable than a normal tyre.

Never had issues with tubeless 4″ tyres on my fatty folding on corners even at 5 or 6 psi and pushing hard round the woods.

My rim/tyre ratio can’t be far off, I have Flow EX with a Magic Mary on the front. The pressure was low but not low enough to do any damage to the rim over roots and rocks. Maybe I was just unlucky?

Keep up. People are running 12-15 psi in plus tyres and 6psi in fatbike tyres…

R.I.P. Uncle Owen Mountain Cycle:

That’s my point, at that low a pressure a direct vertical impact will be fine. But surely the tyres are more susceptible to folding over with pressures that low.

That’s my point, at that low a pressure a direct vertical impact will be fine. But surely the tyres are more susceptible to folding over with pressures that low.

Big fat tyres still fold but not in the same way as a higher pressure smaller tyres, its much more progressive as opposed to the ‘collapse’ of folding a small tyre.

I hate tyre that collapse, to the point that even in CX races i run a little higher, but ive yet to have my fat bike tyres fold in quite the same dramatic way as smaller tyres. There is a case for slightly higher pressures when you can (i.e. with a sus fork) as the folding/rolling of the tyre on the rim can be felt and does require additional/different steering input (but the bikes steer differently anyway so not really a problem).
