Going Long and Hard.

On the road.

how the poop did you hit 41mph on a fatbike?

 

[Steve Vai]

And I think this is the last gear purchase for Fat Pursuit. I also have a new 10k portable battery so that will double my range.

In a sort of geeky move, I coverted my old phone into an iPod. I use Apple Music to download albums through Wi-Fi and then run the phone in eco mode to save battery. I used it for the last 2 weekends ans without recharging the battery is at 60%. That's like 27 hours of use between those 2 rides so we may be talking about 60+ hours of Cannibal Corpse out there...

Is that insulated tube effective at below zero?

blow water back into bladder - at any very low temp.....

I know that trick and it has a high failure rate because of not being able to fully clear the system. That being said, can’t remember the last time I wore one.

 

[pooriggy]

Yeah, blowing water back does not remove all the moisture in tube, unless you keep tube an camelbak under warmth of jacket. I prefer keeping a water bottle under jacket, close to my body heat, I find it's easier to keep from freezing.

 

[Steve Vai]

^ this. The whole setup is under all layers.

It's nice to see some snow before FatPursuit this year!! 8-Hours of the fluffy out to PA and back with David.

As soon as you cross the Delaware it's nothing but this until you hit CA.

My co-worker sold his frame and is waiting for the new All-City to ship so...I get to borrow his fork for a bit. I'm 100% that I'll end up rigid as I ride my fork locked out and pumped to the max PSI anyways...

It's about time you got rid of that squishy crutch.

It's temporary, he's taking it back and I can no afford.

Here's a sorta dorky mod to use my barends while the Pogies are on. I seriously hate Pogies. But, I normally run a 740mm bar. Shaved the lips out of the Ergons, installed a 780mm bar, and slid the grips to 740. For anyone good at math, that leaves 20mm between the grip and Pogie so I can still use all the hand positions and not end up like JayP...

PS - Pogies are dumb.

pogies let you keep your fingers!

 

[Norm]

I just wonder...would pogies be so unpopular if they were called Death Mittens?

 

[stb222]

Poagies are super stupid when you see people using them in these parts. They become un-dumb when you have a serious risk of freezing you hands off.

I did Tuscobia without them at -28 degrees for 19+ hours...Not even slightly cold hands.
