I’ve got a Husker Du ready to put on but LBS had difficulty???….really slack fit and needs loads of tape, apparently….it will be going on though….weighs in at 27lbs (according to LBS)

1 shed, I bought them direct from Nextie, China……came after about 3 weeks (but there was a Chinese holiday in there)

You can now get them from Slam69 in the UK…..good guy for all things Fat, by the way.

I won’t be mounting it until tomorrow, so can’t comment on the ride

£440ish inc shipping

The guide is for one full day of XC/Trail non trail centre riding, local (ish) to Mabie if poss

How do I get in touch with Trekster? Nowt on Google

Adamo peak MTB (good for the elderly gentleman’s junk)

Plus 2 vans full, and they’re all mine

You’ve still got the issue of mounting on plasterboard with gap behind

I would cut a square of plasterboard out covering at least 2 uprights, screw a square of 20mm (min) ply in its place, and screw TV bracket to it……fitted loads like this…..problem with through-fixings with gap behind is you’ll be pulling the outer plasterboard in towards the brick/block…..

Sorry touring/estate model

Control/grid ????

3 days booked in July with Bearback as part of a 3 weekTrans Canada train trip. 60th birthday prezzy.

Can’t bloody wait

Bought out of necessity I’m afraid……60 year old (almost) junk being continually slapped around on a Prologo nago carbon (loved it by the way) was not good.

There ye’are

Oh and

Then there’s a bit of Enduromincing

And finally

Weapon of the highest order (wasted on me)

I use this, no chemical nasties that I know of, with any glutamine powder:

I use one of these
+knee pads, for my enduro mincing exploits

It’s overdrive 2

I know it’s a stem, but it needs to fit an 1 1/1/4 steerer (I assume????)

Crap with techie stuff (Garmin/maps etc),but I live in Ballaugh and will be going out for a few all-dayers next week….let me know if you fancy a bit of company. There’ll be a few rides going out at weekend as well.

Toros: 2.35 front 2.15 rear does it for me….covers all terrain that I’m capable of mincing about on.

We’ve got: sharp rocky, slippery rooty, hardpack, grassy and slop……I’ve never ripped a sidewall (unlike some of my mountain king sporting friends)

Good reasonably light all rounders.

Be quick though…. Getting harder to find

ACYCLES have got some cheap HutchinsonToro’s left as they apparently have stopped importing to UK….I got stocked for immediate future…..2.35f…2.15r….does it for me

Just like to know, off road suitability

Oh, and I’ve got over/under clamps (reverb)..assuming that’s ok

21st/22nd/23rd July….my 60th birthday present eek!!!

I didn’t try your method DanW…..no they don’t sit in the bead very well I,thought it was the MudX…..anyway wheel thrown in corner, new Toros ordered and carbine being ridden tonight.

LESfat ordered: it comes with Maxis Mammoth tyres, are they any good, or is it change as soon as I get it?

For what?

We stayed in Garth Dderwen great b+b….bike/biker friendly…great breakfast etc…..top job

Only if you loan me your legs Andy

4.5k full bike….2.2k frame

24.75TT…..69degree head angle 72 degree seat tube angle…similar to my Tallboy and I’ve got 50 stem/780 bars….so I assume it’s ok???

Nearly there now. just a couple more questions:

1./ I’m a big fan of short (50mm) stems and 800mm bars; is this format suitable for fatbikes?

2-/ what is the best tyre combo for IOM/UK conditions (rocky/rooty/with a bit of slop now and again)

Looking like it’s going to be a LESfat

Madbillmcmad: many thanks for showing me the error of my ways…..really like the look of the Pivot LESfat…..anyone riding one???

Oneoneorange: I’m choosing where i stay based on decent MTB and access to the city…..my wife will be going into London not me……so Dorking or similar sound good….not going until September

Ryde trace enduring for me

OK, finally persuaded him to not get RS1…….question now is: Reba, Rev, or SID;

He’s quite a strong rider, really rips into climbs, so fragile is not an option.

Any assistance would be appreciated

Toros for me, 2.35f and 2.1r…….all year…..roots,rocks,slop, dusty gritty stuff, the lot….great tyres and 750/730gr

Saturday morning bump….before I tell him to “wiggle” it

Cheers guys at Trendz prices I can have a play about with options

Ok, last question (ish):
How’s about:
Ground control 2bliss 2.3 front
Ground control 2bliss 2.1 rear
Any thoughts?

Try this, cheap as and works a treat
