Get a 28 or 26 chain ring on front and at least 40 in rear

I'm getting a bikesdirect fatty fuck spending real money on something I'm going to only use in the snow, I just don't know if I want gears or not hmmmm

Oh jeez another 34t chain ring situation, just get the gears and I have looked at those for her myself also.

I was going to take my old 10 speed stuff(new derailleur) and do 1x10 with the smallest ring I could get.

I learned my lesson but I can't tel them directly that I'm taking their advise it goes to their heads! btw are you running to and what fattie are you looking at?

Want to really ride in snow, make sure tires are over 4.5. I'm getting a new front tire this year and it's like 5.3. Thread pattern also matters if you want to float the snow

nope what I pull of is going on the giant my friend rides when we ride together(I might bring that to a group ride lol)

Step 1: Get a Fatty
Step 2: Get 4.0" tires
Step 3: Ride it all the time not just in snow
Step 4: Ride it in snow up to 4" or so
Step 5: If it snows more than 4" go skiing or stay inside and drink. It won't be fun to ride in the snow over 4" anyway.

Every night I go to bed I tell myself I am going to wake up and go running the next morning, I have overslept every single day this week. I am hoping to get out this evening or tomorrow morning for a run seriously though. I need to add 1 or 2 more days of cardio a week. I doubt I will be a contender of any sort though. My arthritis makes jogging very painful and difficult.

Get the Boris from them, it's a much better frame

Never tried a fat bike, but I tried and lift @huffster 's bike in Ringwood...that thing must be forged in depleted uranium, it weights a ton!

Try @Juggernaut next time, his is probably under 30, mine is like Tim's. But it's not cheap losing weight when it's fat

My S-works fatty is around 25-26 lbs. It's usually my go to ride for playing in the dirt. Tons of traction, forgiving, and can climb anything.

23.5 for my Farley and about 28-29 for the Mukluk.

This is not CX.... we don't need to carry our bikes.... well... not too often
Unless we are talking about racing, your on a fat bike. I think its assumed that you won't win too many KOM.... immortal riders excluded.

Great! I'll take the Farley!
So when can we make the exchange between your Farley and my Talon?

Man... I am pretty annoying!

The site actually lists 5" capable bikes, but I think they still come with 4" wheelsets so that would be an investment on top.

You want a new Boris for about $500? and you don't even need to take your clothes off
PM me if interested
