Global Fat Bike Day Saturday 5th December

[Paul.G.]

I've done a few miles on tarmac between off road sections, my biggest problem is trying to ride at the same pace as I would on the cross bike, I just need to ease off a bit and chillax! Now I have the fattie, can't see cross or road bike getting used much

There truly is no end to the range of bikes on the market!

Fat bike, full sus, drop bars, Pendleton frame, fixie, dress guard. Niche stuff.

Might drop some fatter tyres on the 80's MTB next summer - it's on 2.1's so feel like 2.3 or more might just fit. Plenty of clearance on an old Skool.

2.3" is hardly fat..

3.8" or above is fat.
Here's mine.

Nice!

In a side note, that should appease the "wide tires have less rolling resistance" brigade.

Why do you need snow to enjoy riding a Fat Bike, you can ride it anywhere, beaches, hills, XC, racing that is unless you're scared to ride and smile

Don't need a fatty to make me ride with a smile ta

I'm in. There are a few of us that ride the dunes and pathways between southport and Crosby, so I'll post on our Facebook group if that's ok.

So I need to register or just show up 9am on the 5th?

Cheers
Simon
