When fat is the only bike…..(Haters need not look)

The awesome riding weather continues 8)

Fatbikes are not the solution for all riding conditions by a long way, but they can do some things very well 😉

Narrowmindedly didn’t look at this til today. 😳

Motorman ! I’m sure I shouldn’t like that. But, I do…A lot. 🙂

I chose the right week for my weeks holiday, nothing to do but cruise on the coast 🙂
Mud free and just an airline clean and relube of Squirt each evening, yesterdays ride i tried to film the float of the new Moonie, at the start of the film look at the footprints, then the tyre prints, loads of float 🙂
lovin this bike, harder work on tarmac than the pugsley (expected) but unreal on real soft sand and dunes…

So, you lot run less than 10psi, right? What happens if you run say 20 or 25?

No one’s ever tried….you’re knackered after 8psi TBH.

LOL Al
I usually ride at 8 psi on 3.7″ and 6 psi on 4.7″ on the beach,
I put 25 psi in my pugsley to ride the 10 miles west on the road to the coast once when the car was off the road. I bunny hopped a kerb and clipped it and the rebound nearly spat me off

Caught the ERC chain gang one night east of Drem and stuck behind for about 200 yards 🙂 they were all looking up from my tyre drone

That’s strange Bruce. The only drone I associate you with is your voice……

Awesome video!

Where was it filmed?

How come i’ve not seen anyone using SPDs on a fat bike?

Most of them are noobs.

Does anyone know anywhere where i could rent one?

Not sure if anyone has posted anything about the fat lefty conversion[/url] yet, so I will.

How much cider can you get hold of? 😉

Does Thebikechain have one?

Suss fattys are the future for trail fattys.

TBC has an 18″ Pugsley available as a demonstrator.

Charlie the bike Monger has a demo bike, and from his shop it’s all down hill to the beach….

Film is around Spike Island at John Muir Park at Dunbar, East Lothian.
Google Earth Dunbar 🙂

For tea & cake and a bottle of Strongbow you can ride a 18″ pugsley here 🙂

I ride flats as we often ride real greasy rocks exposed at low tide, oh and i ride flats now on all bikes now 🙂

Boltonjon… We have a pugsley demo down in swanage…but you are probably nearer sideways tim… He has a pugsley.

I’ve also got mukluks in stock, so can build one up if you wanted to test ride it.

Hey Bruce, I spent the afternoon in the woods next to there yesterday afternoon with my daughter.. such a good day.. we both have so many childhood memories of John Muir Country Park.. happpy times!! 😀

ps. spotted loads and loads of fatty friendly swoopy single track in those woods, I’m sure you’ll have ridden it all.. kinda made me want to buy a mini moto 😉
how good would a wee moto be in Butterdean?
and just how illegal is it to beach ride on one?

hmmm… *checks bank account*

Would be mega illegal GW

But… no one would hear you at night on one of these with a couple of Magicshines up front 😉

seen those before! pretty **** tempting, eh?

Wanna start a new niche?

go on go on go on…. y’ know you want to 😉

Although i lived in bolton once, i’m now a shandy drinking southerner and have done a bit of biking in the Purbecks, so know the area

I’m based up near Reading, so its not to far for me to travel down

I’ll see when i’ve got a free weekend and will contact you to see if its available

I’m 6ft 4″, so i’ll be after a large or x-large frame

Cheers for the info guys!!
