I need to borrow your rear fat bike wheel

[JimN]

Fat bikes are dead. If you haven't sold yours yet, it's probably sitting in the garage covered in cobwebs. I'm still living in a fantasy world where fat bikes are alive, and my rear wheel is currently fucked. I want to borrow your rear wheel for a week or two, or maybe I'll just buy it from you if you have a spare. It needs to be 197mm with a 10 speed cassette or the right hub driver for my 10 speed cassette. Help me please, I don't want to ride one of my skinny tire bikes.

Don’t do it @Kaleidopete I really want to watch @JimN bitch and moan on a skinny bike. It will make my week.

you could show @Soundguy how you rock "skinny" tires.
i think it goes to 11 tho - not sure about the driver.

I took three pedal strokes on the Hightower in my driveway and almost fell down. Fortunately I then shifted the chain off and behind the cassette, so I won't be riding that bike Wednesday either 😜

Don’t you have a Yeti too? Someone needs to adopt your poor neglected skinny bikes.

Jim's driveway is no joke. come in a little too hot, you are going to feel the wrath of Cream Puff!

Yeah, I can't even imagine trying to ride it. It's basically a road bike.

Rent me the yeti.

Better yet, come get my Farley, da whole bike, I think you'll like it. And make me an offer after you use it for a while.

Thanks for the offer, but I'm gonna borrow a friend's Mayor. I've also been looking at bikes, and the Kona Wozo looks very intriguing. I've been thinking my next bike will be 27.5x3.8, but ideally with a 120 or maybe even 140 Mastodon.

You low balled me on the Transition DH bike. I also a a Yeti SB-95 that I bought and rode for six months before getting the fat bike.

Kona only offers the Wo and Woo, the Wozo has been discontinued. I'm looking for something different in Fat, but it must be F&R 26x5.05" capable.

Well that's lame, I only just learned about it yesterday.

For what it’s worth, I’m still interested in test riding the DH bike and then not buying it but it somehow ends up in my possession for the next decade....

You should go to @mattybfat's house to pick up the bike, and then take it to Mountain Creek. On the way home you can drop the bike or some money off at my house.
