Show us your Fat Bikes………..

….again.

Don’t forget to tell me how awful they are and how much of a waste of cash they were. 🙂

dreadful things 😉

Here you go..

Don’t forget to tell me how awful they are and how much of a waste of cash they were

I can’t, as its neither of these… 8)

Is that a small piece of poo in the foreground scud?

Hope not, not that scary to ride!!

they’re also very slow and cumbersome.

2 wheeled fat bikes are so last week , what you want is “The Juggernaut”,

fast as ****

As above…….not fat, just chubby 😉

They’re very slow.

my fat bike timeline, only had 4, still got last 2 !

Was going to save this, and write a balanced review a few months down the line, but bugger it, here you go. Like a giant BMX and the most funnest bike I have ever owned. Woot! 🙂

Pointless unless you live in Alaska or on a beach, doing endless boring sandy miles.
It took me 9 hours to drag the stupi thing this far up a hill

They are very stable on soft surfaces…. 🙂

Got a few now over the years

2 wheel sets for this one-a Mk2 grey Pug now black and orange Pumpkin theme

And 29+

And the big Moonie too

From Sunday (30th March 2014) in its current form. Soon to be single speeded though.

Scout – i feel your pain

Every day

Especially when i see the bits stacked in my shed to fit to the wayward orange beaked artic little git 🙁

Some quick research has possibly resulted in a way to take my mind of things till it arrives

Its the Orangy bit in the middle….

I can get a much better view of the docks now

Hope to see some of you fellow fat freaks this weekend at Forth Fat 14

Of course it will be dull and boring, loads of crowds for getting attention, and you could easily ride were were going on a CX bike, and no Saturday night drinking 😉 🙂

Puffin customer here and a large bill (ho, ho) has sent me down the self drill on-one wheelset route so this is my Fat bike currently;

DIY (Drill it yourself) is proving very popular on wheel builds and none have folded and one has died yet from DIY wheels collapsing as some of us fat old gits thought would happen 😀 🙂

I couldn’t believe the weight of the swarf and ‘holes’ I ended up with at the end – probably at least a normal rims worth!

Specialized 26 x 3″ tubes will same you a good bit too over fat tubes 🙂

I got some “Schwalbe Inner Tube 26 x 2.1/3.0 Presta FreeRide” after a peruse of the ukfatbike forum. compared with the tyres they’re fly weight 🙂

wwaswas – your beginning to scare me

You have a Liteville 301 and have a Puffin coming – either i’m copying you or your copying me!!

Please tell me you haven’t got any On-ones or Orange’s sat around in the garage?? 🙂

More poo.

There’s a theme developing here………

Sold my orange and on one so you’re safe 🙂

I really am going to have to drill my rims 😕

I used a Bosch holesaw in my pillar drill.

Reversed the head so it hung out past the edge of the bench and used a piece of wood the width of the spoke gap to support the rim. By putting a stop on the ‘support’ bit of wood the mid point of the rim was always directly under the drill and I had something to push against to stop the rim moving whilst drilling (although I did mark the centre between each pair of spokes for additional confidence).

Low speed, lots of wd40 squirted on to keep temperatures down and the bit spinning freely and it was fine.

Bashing each plug out of the bit each time was probably the most time consuming/frustrating part.
