That's what all us fat guys tell ourselves when we don't like what we see.

My scale has been about 10 pounds off for a couple years now. I just assume my fat bike weighs 16 pounds.

I befriended Matty's son.
He's no help.

Hey, as long as you can still fit in your Rapha gear, isn't that what matters?

Ok in between running kids to dances and roller rinks I managed to get this ready for a maiden voyage. It didn't go exactly easy. The x7 rear D is serious shit. I had to replace the B screw to work with the 42t woolfcog that they supplied. Turns out that the threads gave way. So off to the hardware and replace the N4 screw with a 10/32 hex drill and tap. Shit still misses the kicker. First upgrade will be type 2 x9. Bent the screw and is holding. Other then that looks and test great.
So changes 42t already covered. 30t raceface NW. Kmc x10sl. Iris Kingcages. 20/20 carbon Answer bars. Thomson masterpiece setback more over the rear better. 3T cabon stem. Avid ultimate levers which give bb7s that awesomeness. Phorm grips are an experiment. The quality is as good and attention to detail was smart. Eyelets galore for racks and fenders front and back. It was fun just riding around the yard will update as we get out there.

I would HIGHLY suggest against the Light-Fat Rims. Seriously. I know you're all about going with whatever no one is running, but in this case there's a VERY good reason no one in running them.
Call me at some point.
