AWESOME,, now can you fatten a TT bike?

Thank you, Park Tools, for making this possible. Calvin and Ben are hilarious. "Maybe downhill" had me rolling on the floor. Keep up the good work!

Use all that width and do a dual rim setup on 1 hub...

so get like a 32 spoke hub and use 2 16 spoke rims or do you try to hunt down a 40 or 48 spoke hub for a fat tire so you can use two 20 or 24 spoke rims? I can't see any benefits of doing that though. and why not just glue 2 tubulars next to each other onto the fat rim?

So informative! Calvin and Ben are a Winning Team! Great Chemistry!

Nice stuff yall. Thanks.

Nice series and glad to see the finished project...

Love these guys! Thank you for showing us what CAN BE DONE. No matter how difficult. I wish that manufacturers would come up with solutions/options for those of us who can only have one bike (RV, apt living, storage space limitations, etc) and have a second wheel-set on the ready to be swapped out. Because why use your fat tire/mountain bike tire in the City Streets or on any other pavement? In the long term, it is much better, easier, lighter, faster and MTB tire-saver way of riding if you have another (as similar as possible - cassette, etc) wheelset for the Street on the Ready.

I love the sound of fatbike tires.

One of the best videos I have seen on youtube - I just bought a Salsa Beargrease with 27.5 X3.8 wheels that I was going to convert to 29er wheels for summer touring. Your video let me know that I am not insane (At least this idea is not insane) The frame is truly amazing - but one thing I have to look at also is the gearing because the thiner wheels will not work with the 28 tooth and I will have to up it to at least a 34- Once again this was a wonderful video.

Congratulations on nailing the skinny/fat bike!

A skinny set would be awesome to have! Two bikes in one!

Awesome.

awesome! more silly builds!

I could see a 29er mtb wheel setup not a road setup but I see why you did this.Nice.

You could fit some 700x250mm 😂

lol i been wondering if this was possible..at least you got clearance lol

Great talking point on a club ride.

Thanks because I decided to buy fat bike fork for my cheap 90s mtb

Can u try slim tires on wide rims?🙃

add suspension to a TT bike?

So this build really took you mega-experts 2 months to complete? Why do I find that so hard to believe...

Calvin and Ben

This looks like the bicycle version of a supermoto motorcycle

You should have used a larger wheel for the skinny.

Hello there Calvin, Ben! Just a question, Do you have any issues with sram brakes with shimano rotors setup (or vice versa) as you have on your skinny fat bike?

@parktool

No issue. Rotor thickness is a standard across brands. However some rotor use a "spider" system for arms, which can vary in height and thickness. These can interfere between brands, but a flat rotor works across the board.

Awesome! Thanks for the reply.

I want those rims+tyres+hubs on my 29+ except the rims & tyres should be 32"... And if that cuts the weight with 8 pound it will only weigh 9,5 kg which would be wicked bc the susp. fork weighs about 2 kg alone. Switch it too a rigid carbon fork and you're at 8,2 kg.

send that fatty tire to me i need that.... hehehehe

Can i buy that

can i buy that

if they could have put a cx tire and wheelset on there, it would have been the prefect dirty kanza bike with all that sexy tire clearance

Park tools, my bike is a about 10 year old trek bike.this bike has been in a shed for years and has never had cleaning. I was wondering if you had any tools the would help a bike that has been through years of riding with no cleaning. Please help me on telling me good products with a 50 dollar budget.please help soon.thanks!

Dish soap and a bike degreaser for the chain, cogs, etc. Spend the rest on new cables and housings. I just dug out a nasty 15yo trek mountain bike and did the same thing. Rides great now that it's all adjusted.

where are you guys?

The next evolution in boost spacing.

It just looks like a fat bike on rims

That actually doesn't look bad at all

Can you please build a tallbike next? I've been recently wanting to build one for myself but I would first like to see how a professional would create it.

@parktool

I like the idea of tallbikes very much, and have never worked on one. However, the idea of a "professional" creating a tall bike kind of goes against the tallbike culture, doesn't it? - Calvin Jones

29er possible?

Alexandre D.D It's the same thing. 29in is just a 700c road wheel.

Do it with 1500 w motor 26 195 tire.

I really thought Calvin was going to break out some 360 tail taps at the end, a little disappointed now.

put a fat bike suspension on to raise the BB

Make a reversed bike. MTB steering on the backwheel

Schwalbe Big apples on 29er rims would have made actual sense to convert to a lighter commuter...

Probably could've stuffed three skinny tires in there

Hi! It is worth buying a full suspension fat bike or a hardtail one? Which do you think is better and funnier to ride?

people call me crazy because i run a 27,5" fork on my 26" bike...

I did the same thing. Also specialized did something simular a while back. 24 rear 26 front. My reasons were: I had a fox fork that got stiction. Fox dont service forks 5 years old or older. A 1 1/8th straight steerer fork with 160mm of travel to fit a 26 inch QR wheel was next to impossible to find or way over priced compared to the 650b equals. A 140mm 27.5 fork thru axle was an easy find, and allowed a similar ride height. Since I was gonna have to buy a new front wheel either way, I might was well make it so i can use the wheel on a newer bike later. I like to keep 2 wheel sets.

29+ in a Fat bike?

Reinventing the wheel. I wish I got paid for playing around with bikes . . . oh wait, I do!

But lets be honest, Fatbikes are much more fun.

Idunno about "cooler". My fat ebike turns heads. Whenever I stop, people go nuts about it.

Now that Saving weight and 💰.

smh. i’m actually looking for the opposite build to see if i can build a walmart bike

you should've used 29r rims

The rim of a 29er is the same diameter as a 700c road rim, which is the same as a road tubular....so effectively those were 29er's.

God fuck, WHY???

She wasn't a fat bike... Just big framed

fat bikes overrated like putting 26 er slick tires 26x1.25"

fat bikes: ugliest shit on earth
