Any chance of finding a new fatty?

I went with Maxxis Minions since I have no frame of reference for fat biking whatsoever and this is how RSD specs the bikes. I must say, fat Minions are a LOT of tire. Calling them beefy is an understatement. In any case, the bike is dope AF. I had tons of fun riding it and have no regrets.
Looks awesome. You will love the minions, you can treat it like a normal trail bike but with incredible traction.

Thanks. I only rode about 8 miles yesterday but those tires are DIESEL! With the way fat tires affect turning and almost pull the bike into the corners it was effortless to lean the bike way over. That was a pretty cool sensation. I have been working at (and sometimes struggling) to lean my trail bike into corners more and this thing just does it almost on its own.

Hey Jim, how about some details on the wheel build? I'm curious
Hope Fatsno hubs
Nextie Xiphias 26" x 85mm rims (79mm bead to bead)
DT Swiss Competition spokes
Wheelsmith alloy nips

I didn't weight them before mounting tires and installing them on the bike so I don't have any info there.
