I’m well aware that nothing grips on wet roots. But has anyone else found fat bikes worse? I’ve ridden the same bike for years, and it’s always been difficult on roots, just wondering if it’s just me.
Last night in 2 hours I had:
1x “sideways superman” as the back wheel disappeared at lightning speed climbing up some switchbacks.
1x OTB directly into the only Holly sapling nearby in a trail lined with nice soft bracken and loam.
1x spectacular OTB which left me airborne long enough to be searching for something to grab hold of, before deciding that gloveless and going for the front tyre wasn’t the best idea after all. The bike then caught up with me and smacked my right knee hard enough that I couldn’t bend it over TDC for the ride back to the car!
