Tell me where you rode today...

I broke a rim on my fat bike back in the Fall and dragged my Hightower out of the basement. I got the wheel fixed and even got a new carbon wheelset for the fat bike, but I still haven't ridden it again yet.

I know you're riding a bunch of stuff that you probably first cleaned on the fat bike, how's the comparison? You probably know the lines well enough at this point, but still, is it more challenging? I only ask because I know the type of shit you ride and always thought the fat bike was an advantage in some ways.

It was an adjustment at first, but not as much as I would have thought. For the really dumb gnar, the bigger tires do make it easier, but at this point I don't think there's anything I've cleaned on the fat bike and not the Hightower. There are however several things I've ridden on the Hightower and not the fat bike. Mainly rollers and some steep downhills. The only thing I still struggle with is the low bottom bracket and pedal strikes, but it's getting better. I also don't know if I can go back to a 10 speed after riding a 12 speed for the past six months.
